Fort Davis hat & scarf set is truly timeless cable design with a twist. City dwellers or country folk - this design would work for all! I chose Prairie DK by The Buffalo Wool Co. - a luxurious blend of Bison Down and Muga Silk in color Purity, which is undyed fiber, earthy and lavish at the same time.

Inspiration
This design was inspired by Davis Mountains, located in Far West Texas near Fort Davis, TX. Calm, serene and remote, this location is truly beautiful and marks the spot for one of my favorite destinations to travel. We did this photoshoot while staying at Indian Lodge, a historical adobe style hotel in the heart of Davis Mountains.

Pattern contains 6 pages of written instructions and charts.
