Leylandii

The inspiration for my latest pattern launch Leylandii mitts and cowl was the yarn itself. I had won two balls of Valley Yarns Bromley in a competition a while ago and it had sat in my stash while I waited for it to tell me what it wanted to become. I hadn't knitted with cashmere yarn before and wasn't sure what to do with it, and such a small quantity needed to be something little but special. 
Finally the colour of the yarn pointed me towards something with an evergreens theme. The diamonds pattern on the back of the mitts is inspired by the shape of evergreen trees, and the lace pattern on the cowl reminded me of the same. You can make the mitts from one ball of Valley Bromley and the cowl from a second. Soft, warm, a real treat. I hope you enjoy them!
