Wrap this beauty around you… and prepare to be HUGGGGED!
I have a TREAT for you! Until the full pattern launches on 4/24, get Lake Hug for $6.00. When the pattern is updated and first videos released the price will go up to $12.00.

I designed Lake Hug for Patty Lyons Affiknity retreat with Green Mountain Spinnery’s Cotton Comfort DK. It is woolly-but-not-too-warm and 100% USA-sourced. The organic cotton is from Texas, the Targhee wool is from the Front Range, and it’s spun together with love in Vermont. The fabric is elegant but casual, light but warm, wearable year-round. Exactly the texture you want in a wrappable hug. Read below for a discount code to purchase it for your Lake Hug.

This listing is for a 2-page pdf with information about sizing, construction and gauge. The pattern and first videos will be fully released on Thursday April 24th before I drive to Cooperstown.

If you are a retreat attendee, use your redeem code at checkout, you’ll get the updated version of the pattern before you see me on Thursday night!

Lake Hug is an easy-to-wear woolly embrace. This hug is worked from the center out in the round, with a 10-wedge oval. From there, each wing grows outward as you knit flat to the sleeves. Next, the sleeve is joined into the round and worked in a lacy rib that hugs your arms just right. Finally, an attached I-Cord edging is worked all the way around the edge to finish with a flourish! I’ll be teaching you how to work that with a trusty I-Cord tool or your needles—your call.
