How The West Was Spun: Pattern Release: Red Barn Set, Covered Bridge Cowl and Two-Horse Hitch Socks

Pattern Release: Red Barn Set, Covered Bridge Cowl and Two-Horse Hitch Socks

Today I'm going to do a final pattern release for the remaining three patterns in the fall collection. These are all accessory-sized pieces, and all of which are unisex pieces.

First up, the Red Barn Hat/Mittens set. These are very simple, straightforward pieces knit in a soft, squishy Aran organic merino, the Brigit Worsted in my shop. They are worked with a random ribbing. The hat can be worn with the brim folded up, like a watchcap, or pull it back on your head to wear it more like a slouch.

And a close-up of the mittens for you:

Next!, the Two-Horse Hitch Socks features two sizes with twisted stitch cable motifs down the leg and onto the foot.

The smaller size was knit from one skein of The Woolen Rabbit's Harmony Sock yarn in the Birch Beer colorway.

The larger size was knit in Wooly Wonka Fibers Rhiannon Sock in the Bittersweet colorway.

Finally, the Covered Bridge cowl, which comes in a small, snug-fitting style, and a longer, scarf/wrap-around style. I loved working with the Brooklyn Tweed Shelter - such a great lofty yarn and it comes in a ton of wonderful colors! The small cowl is knit in the Wool Socks colorway, and the longer cowl is knit in Nest.

More great photos from Kristen Brooks Photography and details on yardage, sizing, etc. on the respective project pages. A huge thank you as well to my test knitters!

All for now....
