A cute tee with decorative patterning
Wily Windy Moors is knitted from the bottom-up with a simple cabled pattern decorating the front and a feature cable on the back. The cable pattern is simple and the top suitable for adventurous beginners.
This cute tee was inspired by the beautiful colourway of the yarn that reminds me of Wuthering Heights and the local Yorkshire Pennine moorland after a storm with deep blue skies and golden moors.
