Adelia pattern

Adeliacover

September always brings lovely cool breezes, crisp nights, and the desire to knit warm and toastie cold weather accessories! The Adelia pattern includes three options that all feature one lovely flower and heart motif: a cowl, fingerless mitts and full mitts. One skein of each of two coordinating colours of TFA Purple Label Cashmere Sock yarn is enough to knit a cowl and the pair of mitts of your choice, either fingerless or complete. Thanks to the cashmere in the yarn these accessories are extremely soft and comfortable to cozy up in.

I hope that you'll enjoy knitting them as much as I enjoyed designing them. The heart on the gusset is probably my favorite part! I knit my cowl and fingerless mitts in Atlantic and Sand, and my complete mitts in Poppy and Natural

  1. What a gorgeous set. I like how you've used the blue for the ribbing on the cowl, but the grey for the mittens, so they match but don't look too over co-ordinated, if that makes any sense. Would they be a good first colourwork project, would you say?

  4. I love this set. I'm picturing it in gray & yellow combination - one of my favorites. Didn't you have some sort of yellow inspiration recently? Perhaps a new colorway for us all?

  8. These are just amazing! I wish I knew how to knit like that... I've never done any color work.... How do you suggest I start and learn?
