Yarn Kit only – please purchase the pattern from Elizabeth's Ravelry account.

Fingerless mitts, cowl and hat are all part of the Tiny Boats fleet! They use the same entertaining slip-stitch patterns, reminiscent of the Viking sailing ships that visited the Outer Hebrides during the 9th century, bringing with them their hardy Norse sheep. The ancestors of the Hebridean sheep we now rear on our croft today.

In Elizabeth’s own words: “A miniature fleet of boats sets sail upon a slipped stitch band. The intricate-looking pattern is deceptively simple to knit. Only one colour is worked per round, so there’s no need to carry two strands of yarn at once. Explore classic and exciting colour pairings, add a contrast edge—or for a fun variable, introduce a new colour for each set of boats! The slightly slouchy hat can also easily be customised to have more slouch, or to be a fitted beanie.”
