If you are a lover of lace hats! You can get both my lace hat eBooks for $15. Just put both Stone & Sea and Fathom in your cart and the discount will be automagically applied! If you’ve previously bought Stone & Sea you’ll magically get Fathom for just $5!

Pebble is part of Stone & Sea. a small eBook of two lace hat patterns. If you find yourself drawn to both patterns (the other of which is called Anchor), you’ll save a couple o’ bucks buying Stone & Sea.

Pebbles and stones are said to be kin and ancestors. Pebbles have wisdom in them. They have seen more than we can ever imagine. They are strong and supportive. Stones live many lifetimes. Although they change shape, from canyons to boulders to rocks to smooth pebbles, they stay a solid fundamental force in our lives. And collecting them on warm days on the ocean’s shore, holding their weight in your hand, is a favourite thing of mine.

Pebble is worked from the bottom up holding one strand of Woolfok TYND and one strand of Woolfolk SNO together.
