Flock of Birds

There’s an unmistakable chill in the air here in London, UK. Autumn is coming, and that means it’s time for many of our feathered friends to make their seasonal migrations. We’re saying goodbye to swallows, nightingales and cuckoos, as they fly south, and we’re welcoming geese, swans and winter thrushes who join our shores from the colder north.

Look up into the sky and you may be lucky enough to spot migrating birds, flying in their beautiful V formations. This wonder of nature was the inspiration for my Flock of Birds Hat and Mitts set.

Featuring the understated elegance of twisted ribbing, this hat and matching mitts have a comfortable and super stretchy fabric. Cushy ribs, paired with fingering weight yarn, result in a light yet cosy fabric that’s perfect for transitional weather.
