Golden Rays Full Set (Cowl, Hat, Mitts)

The Golden Rays cowl, hat and mitts are inspired by Scottish sunlight during autumn. As low golden rays shine through breaks in the grey cloud cover, the straight beams of light become almost geometric. There’s nothing more magical than those lines of sunlight streaming through the turning leaves on a crisp autumn morning.

The Golden Rays cowl is a colourwork cowl knit in the round using a longtail cast on and stretchy cast off. It can be knit in a shorter size (S) to be closer to the neck or a longer size (L) to wrap around twice.

The Golden Rays hat is a colourwork hat knit in the round using a longtail cast on. It can be knit in three sizes, small (S) 17.5-20in, medium (M) 20-22.5in and large (L) for up to 25in.

The Golden Rays mitts are fingerless mitts knit in the round using a longtail cast on and a stretchy cast off. It can be knit in three sizes, small (S) , medium (M) and large (L).
