Knitting Pattern Set
£5.00
Constantine was a set designed in Constantine Bay, Cornwall, while I was sat on the beach watching my other half surf in the sea. I had the yarn anyway and had made a few swatches, before I settled on this one which made me think of the way the sand ripples after the tide has gone out.
The set comprises of a hat and a mittens pattern, which are also sold individually at £3.50 each. Knit in worsted weight yarn, the hat and mittens are available in several different sizes and suitable for both men and women.
