Hoarfrost

This neckwarmer in two sizes carries us through seasonal transitions by providing a chill-chasing layer without bulk. Knit in a crystalline cable-and-lace motif and finished with a knit-on border of lace snowflakes, this piece works up quickly on circular needles, travels well, and makes a beautiful gift.
Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size.
