Shetland Winter Warmers

# A Set of Chunky Accesssories

£3.50

Shetland Winter Warmers are a pair of convertible gloves and a peek cap. Both items are worked in circular knitting featuring a chunky cable motif. For the convertible gloves, flaps are seamlessly constructed instead of sewing them on afterwards.
