Named after the mighty Eastern Hemlock trees that grow along the creek at my favorite camping spot. Deep green, the branches reach out over the water and their shade is often a welcome reprieve from the summer heat. As the weather turns cold, these evergreens offer year-round color even throughout the gray wintry months.[/x_text][/x_column][x_column bg_color=”” type=”2/3″ style=”padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; “][x_text]Yarn

Perfect as a last minute gift and since there are 4 sizes to chose from, a great Mother/Daughter knit. Quick to make and warm to wear boot toppers are worked up in the round using bulky weight yarn for that instant gratification project.
The textured sections use an easy combinations of knit and purl stitches, allowing the cable pattern to stand out more and making this an easy project.
Wear them folded over the top of boots, or tucked inside as boot liners, or dress up that short pair of booties, your choice!

Take campfire warmth with you wherever you go with this easy to make cowl.
Cowl can be worn wrapped twice or simply folded and tucked in. The look of embers as well as the texture is achieved through a simple drop stitch pattern which makes it possible to get dramatic results with little effort, as you are using only one color per round!
