Tyto Alba
This pattern is available from Payhip via the pattern website linked above, or from LoveCrafts here - priced Euros.
Tyto Alba and Barn Yarn are both available directly from Susan Crawford Vintage
Tyto Alba is worked from the bottom up in the round and features a striking central cabled panel complemented by a slipped stitch pattern to create a warm, bouncy fabric for those chilly days. The difference in the row gauge of the two patterns is used to positive effect, creating a dramatically shaped front section which sits perfectly where your coat closes; at the back there is less bulk, so the cowl sits comfortably against the back collar. Short rows are worked at the top of the cowl back to keep out those chilly winds!
Both written and charted instructions are provided.
