Overview
What's in the kit
Hitaspá — Heat Forecast. “Blanket for the car, camping in chilly weather, sitting on the porch or out in the field, and no one will be cold. I was inspired by memories of a cold Land Rover with rough seats and foul weather.” A bulky Jöklalopi blanket based on the beloved Riddari pattern, knitted in the round on big 12 mm needles — the steek stitches are cut and unraveled at the end to make the fringes.
Included
- Icelandic Jöklalopi (bulky Lopi) wool — everything needed to knit the blanket
