A howler of a hat for everyone in your wolfpack! Design features a howling wolf (or dog!) and three cedar trees, repeated twice.

The ladderback jackard technique is recommended for this pattern as there are some long floats to carry. There is a extra jackard chart version of the chart included that details the stitches that will be on the needles for the colourwork section. Ladderback jackard is not essential, but really helps if using high contrast colours.

If you’re unsure about Ladderback Jackard, this video is the best I’ve seen for detailing the technique:
