I have been a part of the Cool Wool Community since completing a knitting tech edit course with Carol who runs it. It's a great place to get to know fellow yarn people, designers, tech editors, pattern testers and the like.
We are now on our fourth issue of the Curated Collection. A digital download magazine with knitting and crochet patterns that have been tech edited and tested so providing you with the very best quality possible.
Trebarwith is a beach on the north west coast of Cornwall near the magical Tintagel. When the tide is out a wonderful ripple texture is left on the golden sands that is mirrored by the simple texture in this cardigan. Perfect for the summer months, just enough to cover little arms from a chilly evening. Crocheted from the top down using a raglan sleeve increase with minimal sewing combined with the use of a 4ply yarn means it really does have a beautiful look and feel.
The pattern itself is exclusively available in the fourth edition however I have added a little headband and that pattern is right here, free of charge (who doesn't love something for free)
