Graphic and poppy, Polkadrop uses a tuck stitch pattern to highlight the ethereal fuzz of a favorite mohair/ silk laceweight against a backdrop of fingering-weight wool. Lightweight but warm, the cowl puddles around your neck like a fuzzy companion. Should you find yourself outside in a cold snap, tuck Polkadrop firmly into the collar of your coat and let all of that fluffy glory trap the warmth around your neck. If you prefer a closer fit (or a longer double-loop size), it’s easy to adjust the circumference to suit your taste; just cast on any multiple of 4 stitches and away you go.
