Welcome to the first snowfall of the year here in Toronto!  And, to help keep you warm during the upcoming cold months, the MacAskill Scarf is the  Featured Pattern for November, available 50% off (currently $3.00 CAD, regular price, $6.00 CAD)!
Click here to purchase on Etsy!  The original inspiration for Woodland Mittens was the Woodland Hat, also based on the same woodland theme. This stitch pattern brought to my mind the image of moss in the knots of trees, with it’s double-moss stitch enclosed within the cable sections, and the Woodland Mittens were born as well!  The mittens are mirrored, with a different left-hand and right-hand mitten. Each mitten has a cable pattern on the back of the hand and a slipped-stitch textured palm. The extra yarn on the palm helps keep the hand warm and provides an additional layer against friction and wear (as well as providing help in making snowballs!)  This pattern has written instructions, and the stitch pattern is both written and charted.  You can buy the pattern through Etsy, or Payhip, the discount is available on both platforms.

Striding through the damp and windy winter moors, even the largest Scotsman in recorded history, “Black Angus” MacAskill, would have welcomed this giant scarf. Big enough to reach your ears while wrapped around your neck, deep enough to make a hood thrown over your head, and bulky enough to keep you warm no matter how you wear it.

The cable stitch pattern is both written and charted. This pattern also has an accessible large print option that is compatible with screen-reading software. This option includes the written instruction.

The sample is shown in *Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Superwash Bulky in "Fjord Heather". If looking to substitute yarn, any aran/bulky weight wool will substitute well, or, you can knit with sport or dk-weight held double.

You can buy the pattern through Etsy, or Payhip, the discount is available on both platforms. The discount should be be visible on Etsy, To get the discount on Payhip, you can use the coupon code "NovFeatPatt2020"
