The Miles collection of accessories is named after a character of The Holiday, one of my favourite Christmas movies. Miles, played by Jack Black, is humble and funny and doesn’t think too much of himself, but people are drawn to his open and honest nature. I tried to reflect those aspects of his personality in these simple but interesting accessory patterns, featuring an engaging knit and purl texture. You’ll need 1 skein of worsted-weight superwash wool yarn, 2 skeins of DK-weight superwash wool yarn, and 1 skein of lace-weight mohair to knit all three patterns in this collection.
