Boreal Forest Cowl
The Boreal Forest Cowl was created by our first Knitvent guest designer, Renée Callahan of EastLondonKnit. Evoking the expanse of a boreal woodland filled with beautiful conifers, this snuggly cowl features gorgeous rows of geometric pine trees. Knit with three complementary colours, the design blends retro ski-slope charm with a modern twist. This is a wonderfully quick knit: the colour work is easy to follow and memorise, and the worsted yarn works up fast. It’s a great, unisex option for holiday gifting, or a smart accessory to bring a fresh touch of the forest to your own winter wardrobe.
Behind each window is a surprise waiting for you if you join Curious Handmade Knitvent 2016! The listed price is for the whole collection of six patterns to be released throughout November and December.

Join us for Knitvent and spoil yourself with six weeks of magical holiday knitting surprises!
Knitvent 2016 is all about the lush beauty of an Alpine forest. As I designed this year’s collection, I drew on all of the wonderful associations of a holiday hidden away in a peaceful mountain reach. The hush of snow settling on pine boughs, the blaze of a glowing sunset disappearing behind the peaks, and the luxurious warmth of basking by a crackling fire in your cosy ski lodge, all wrapped up and relaxed after an exhilarating day on the slopes.
Knitvent is now in its fourth year, and it has become a treasured holiday tradition for the whole Curious Handmade community. It’s a kind of Advent Calendar for knitters, ramping up the suspense in the weeks leading up to Christmas, with a new mystery design to discover every week. Each year we spend the season together in giddy anticipation, waiting for each week’s surprise pattern to be revealed and sharing the collective joy and expectancy of a mystery knitalong.
All the patterns in the collection have been designed to be perfect for gifting, but at least one is bound to have your name on it. After all that generous gift knitting, you deserve your own holiday treat!
The collection will feature six gorgeous accessory patterns.
The first pattern will be released on Thursday the 10th of November, and you’ll receive updates for the next five Thursdays when a new design is released.
To go along with the six weeks of patterns, there will be revelry, chat, support and prizes in the Curious Handmade Ravelry group. It’s always thrilling to be a part of the buzz, and it adds something a bit special to your holiday knitting experience.
