Is there anything better than a warm cocoon to shelter yourself from the chilly weather and winds? Little Haven is a one-piece cocoon style garment to overlay on clothes that is adaptable to several styles, however you choose to wear it.

Slouch it on the shoulders for a modern deconstructed look.
Leave it open for a shawl style.
Close it with pins and bring the armholes up a little and fold the collar down to resemble a cardigan.
Rest the armholes on your shoulders and wear it as a vest. Endless options!

Little Haven is constructed from the top down with increases to shape the upper yoke, separations for armholes and inset pockets built into the shaping and a big shawl collar picked up after the entire body is finished.

With worsted weight and big needles, it grows fast! Lorna’s Laces Masham is a beautiful truly woolly yarn with a marled effect created by the different hues in the natural fabric.
