Beartooth is a new e-book I recently finished in tribute to the beautiful moutain range in Montana. Worked in one of my new favorites, Remix by Berroco. So many colors look beautiful together and I have picked four different shades for these patterns.
There are four patterns total: two slouches, a scarf and a cowl. All four accessories are easy ones and the perfect comfort knit when gifts need to be knit yesterday. All four utilize garter stitch to make cozy fabrics with two colors adding dimension to this easy fabric. Both slouches are worked in the round and all four pieces are seamless.
Slouch #1 fits more like a beret or tam. Each slouch has three different sizes. The cowl has one size and the scarf has two sizes.
It is shown with the Beartooth Cowl, a wicked fast cowl that is worked flat:
I will be making many of these for gifts.
Slouch #2 is meant to be worn a bit tighter than Slouch #1, as modeled by my lovely hubby and shown with the Beartooth Scarf:
The Beartooth Scarf is my new "go to" scarf:
The reverse stockinette stitch edges make a finished edge with minimal effort. Shown in the 60" length.
