The 2020 Minnesota Yarn Shop Hop was cancelled this year, but we still get to share with you our exclusive design and yarn for the theme “Stitches in Time: Inspired by Decades“. We’re pleased to present String of Purls, inspired by the 1960’s.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

String of Purls is a top down capelet in three sizes, with a distinctive 1960’s style collar and “string” of bobble-ettes at the neck, worked in a heavy worsted weight yarn by Lichen and Lace Hand Dyed Yarn. It is reminiscent of the necklines of Jackie Kennedy and the pearls worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

To read more about the inspiration behind this design, check out our blog.

I hope you will enjoy knitting and wearing this piece.
