Knitters of all abilities will appreciate these designs from DROPS, made using just garter and stocking stitch. While the stitches may be simple, it’s the yarn that elevates this project – the blanket and hat are knitted in light and airy alpaca yarn, which feels wonderful against the skin, while the blanket’s border is crocheted in a fluffy, chunky wool, giving it a wonderfully tactile finish. Both of these yarns are untreated, which highlights their natural properties and enhances the texture and shape.
