The Winter’s End set is such a fun new treat! Quick and fun to knit and so light and cozy to wear! It is like being wrapped in a warm little cloud! Zoom in on the pics - the stitch pattern is so cool and unusual, and yet insanely simple! The Winter’s End set uses luscious Juniper Moon Farm Beatrix and gorgeous Louisa Harding Amitola and kits in 5 different colorsets are available here! It is just the perfect knit to survive the last lingering bits of winter! Or a perfect gift to wait in your happy gift box until the next holdays!

Just a word about yarn substitutions on this one. I did swatch several other yarns for this stitch pattern and a lot of them just didn’t look great. If you aren’t going to use the recommended yarns, try to substitute with a light, lofty blown yarn for the Beatrix and a fairly drapey (one of the few times I wouldn’t say Noro - it has too much structural integrity) fingering weight for the Amitola. But, it is really best with the yarns in the kit!

This pattern is a fully written pattern. A large print version is available for those with aging eyes as well as a low-vision version with size 24 Arial Black Font which should also work well with screen readers.

All abbreviations have also been written out in the low-vision version to make it easier for users of screen readers.
