Snowpane geometric colourwork hat and cowl knitting pattern
The motif on this pattern was inspired by the cosy feeling of being bundled up in warm clothes, ready to go and enjoy a snowy day as sparkling frost sits on window panes. The colourwork on the cowl and hat is simple and perfect as a beginner’s first stranded project!
