Sherkin Hat and Mitts Patterns

Knit a cosy matching hat and mitt set featuring a vertical staghorn cable combined with gentle wave and knot columns on either side. This is a great beginner cable knitting pattern which comes in both written and charted forms. 

 Worked in our Deas yarn, a rustic woollen spun aran, this set embodies its Irish island design theme, from the cables inspired by windswept cliffs and wave columns inspired by the sea.

This knitting pattern set is everything you need to explore hand-knit cables inspired by the islands of Ireland. 

This is the pattern only. 

Find the project video workshop and yarn kit as an add on below.

These patterns were designed as part of the Celtic Knits Club 2024.
