Utility Two

Knitting Pattern | The Knitting Shed

Utility Two has the distinctive stripe of a no-nonsense, serviceable herringbone tweed, but a squishy DK sock yarn gives it a soft cosiness that belies its scratchy inspiration. For the best stripe definition, choose a solid or semi-solid shade alongside a contrasting variegated yarn, or two solid or semi-solid yarns in contrasting colours.

You are purchasing a printed knitting pattern, not the item itself.
