Winter's End
The Winter’s End set is such a fun new treat! Quick and fun to knit and so light and cozy to wear! It is like being wrapped in a warm little cloud! Zoom in on the pics - the stitch pattern is so cool and unusual, and yet insanely simple! The Winter’s End set uses luscious Juniper Moon Farm Beatrix and gorgeous Louisa Harding Amitola and kits in 5 different colorsets are available here! It is just the perfect knit to survive the last lingering bits of winter! Or a perfect gift to wait in your happy gift box until the next holdays!
The Winter’s End set was our February 2022 Save Our Sanity Box! If you don’t want to miss out on the next on, head here and sign up!
Just a word about yarn substitutions on this one. I did swatch several other yarns for this stitch pattern and a lot of them just didn’t look great. If you aren’t going to use the recommended yarns, try to substitute with a light, lofty blown yarn for the Beatrix and a fairly drapey (one of the few times I wouldn’t say Noro - it has too much structural integrity) fingering weight for the Amitola. But, it is really best with the yarns in the kit!
This pattern is a fully written pattern. A large print version is available for those with aging eyes as well as a low-vision version with size 24 Arial Black Font which should also work well with screen readers.
All abbreviations have also been written out in the low-vision version to make it easier for users of screen readers.
