Spruce Forest
SOFT, WARM and colourful, these gloves 
will be entertaining to knit. They feature a 
stranded colourwork pattern inspired by 
Scandinavian forests, and Latvian braids 
around the wrists worked in the same 
colours. The cuffs have a picot edging and 
folded hem for a neat finish. Caroline 
Birkett’s design is knitted in Wensleydale 
Gems, a pure wool from West Yorkshire 
Spinners that comes in 20 lustrous, 
jewel-like colours.
