Accessories Collection ____________________ The NAUTICAL Accessories Collection pays homage to coastal knitting traditions and contains nine designs: five hats, perfectly suited for any harsh conditions on either sea or land, two shawls, inspired by fishermen’s wives’ clothes, a contemporary cowl with a very comfortable fit and a luxurious, oversized cabled wrap for instant comfort.

____________________ Intricate networks of interlacing cables adorn this cozy cap. The crown shaping, integrated into the cable patterning, creates a round motif at the top of the hat, which reminds me of an antique maritime compass and gives the name for this piece – a pelorus is a type of compass used for marine navigation. This design is entirely unisex, and in a darker color yarn it will make a nice men’s cap.

____________________ This cozy blanket wrap I name Turas, which means “journey” in Irish. It features a bold celtic cable in the center, worked on a reverse stockinette background. A Tubular cast-on and bind-off with deep ribbed hems and cable edging, provide a contemporary take on traditional Aran patterning. The worsted weight yarn crisply defines the alternating panels of twisting cables and honeycomb stitch.
