Traveller’s Socks - Closely related to the Traveller’s hat!

The lace pattern is charted with an eight stitch & twenty eight row repeat. Its easy to remember & makes for nice knitting whilst chatting, reading or watching TV!

My first mitts pattern on Ravelry & my first pattern for sale. I hope you like the pattern!

A simple slouchy hat, works in a range of Aran/ Worsted weight yarns & suitable for men or women. So called ‘Traveller’s Hat’ because I worked on it whilst travelling around northern Scotland & because the first two hats have gone to my travelling son & his best mate!

A simple, cosy cowl. Quick to knit. Could be knit on any bulky yarn. Yardage isn’t exact, but you should have a little to spare if you use one skein of the Malabrigio & have a cowl about 9 1/2 inches long.
