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.
as with so many things I knit, I originally intended this for myself but as I followed this simple pattern I realized it was for my daughter.this classic pattern with the self fringe is gorgeous and looks woven. both sides are exquisite.
I have never used 4 needles to knit with before and have finally given up on this. I found the video that gave further explanation that was helpful but still kept messing up. Finally gave up.
Love this pattern. I made a pair for myself and they were so comfortable. As the nights get cooler I put them on to watch tv at night. Also good for travel as your slippers.
