I bought this skein at Woolfest in 2016 and wanted to make something that was simple but elegant. Designed for the Christmas gift issue of Inside Crochet, this design is the perfect speedy gift make. The pattern repeat is easy to memorise and the floral decorations are a pretty way to finish. I used 20 assorted blue and tortoiseshell buttons from my stash. You could substitute any wool rich 4 ply or sock yarn, but if you can seek out any of the Border Tart’s yarns or come across her stall (she exhibits across the UK) this is the ideal way to try out her gorgeous yarns.
