Just a fun little selection of pre-meal bites to entice and prime the palate before the pasta plates come out. Olives, pickled mushrooms, and caviar on toast will do the trick. Basic, simple technique and easy construction will have you rounding out a core charcuterie board with these fun little salty snack accompaniments. All instructions are for knitting flat with seaming.
