Blacker’s Birthday Yarn is such a wonderful tradition, I was so happy to be able to work with this extra special yarn this year. This year’s yarn takes inspiration from the fabrics of the Middle Ages, and the Legend of King Arthur, and with those elements in mind I created the Isoud Tam and Mittens, imagining what La Beale Isoud might wear, puttering around the Joyous Gard.

This pattern is suitable for the knitter with experience reading a chart and stranded colorwork.

Finished mitten measures 7.5’’ circumference and 10’’ from edge to tip.

I used Blacker’s Samite Silk Blend DK.
Color 2 (Morgan le Fay)
Color 3 (Gawain)
Color 4 (Lancelot)

If you would like to knit the matching Isoud Cowl and Isoud Tam, you will need one extra skein of Merlin.
