Pattern - Noblesse Oblige
£4.00
A fabulous ensemble pattern from Karie Westermann providing instructions for both the delightful Fair Isle beret and three sizes of shawl - a neckerchief, a small scarf and a shawl. The beret is knitted in the round with pretty Fair Isle bands running round the circumference before the crown is shaped and topped off with a stylish felted pom pom. The three shawls all feature a stylish striped pattern edging the traditionally constructed triangular shawl. The dainty neckerchief can be finished with ties and felted pom poms to match the beret.
Knitted using Fenella 100% british wool from Susan Crawford, a lightweight yarn, creates a soft, lightweight fabric with fabulous drape. Fenella is available in 25 colours so you can create a wide range of palettes.
The pattern includes both written and charted instructions.
This pattern is also part of the Knits For A Cold Climate collection.
