Me & Ewe Collection
These adorable colorwork motifs are begging me to use them over and over again! It starts with a hat (8 sizes from preemie to adult) & a sweater (13 sizes from 33.25-70)" / 84.5-178) cm)…but have no doubt that this collection will grow. By snagging the Me & Ewe Collection right now, it is priced (and discounted) for just the two designs, but as patterns are added to the collection, you will automatically receive them at no additional cost even though the set price will increase per pattern.
Skills needed: Hat knitters should be comfortable with stranded colorwork from charts, and Sweater knitters should have (or be willing to learn!) the following techniques: short row shaping & working AT THE SAME TIME instructions. Sweater Pattern includes written instructions for a basic W&T and optional Tubular Hems and links to video tutorials for catching floats and color dominance are provided.
