This handsome muffler with matching watch-cap is a great gift idea for the guy who is impossible to knit for. The simple K2, P2 ribbing is pressed flat which gives the fabric a soft, elegant hand.
Note: If you substitute another yarn for the Ultra Alpaca, swatch and press it to make sure your yarn responds well to hard pressing. Do not use a yarn with synthetic content. You can also view all Churchmouse Classics Patterns.
I loved making this shawl, and I enjoyed the process of choosing colors and row counts. I did use Jul Designs fasteners rather than stitching the shoulder seam. I also made my project a little larger by about 10 inches. The big surprise was my 30 year old niece modeling it at Easter when we all got together and then styling it on my 85 year old mother. It also looks great on my taller sister, but I think it looks best on ME!
