As a reminder, the qualifying patterns from the Heritage Home Collection are:
We took the Angler shawl and mirrored it to create a blanket! Worked from the center out with wide garter stripes this simple piece makes a grand statement. Our colors are inspired by the iconic Hudson Bay Blanket, but the blanket would be just as beautiful in a solid. Knit in our Heritage base, this woolly blanket will be an heirloom for years to come.
ANGLER PILLOW
Worked entirely in one piece, the Angler Pillow will add a pop of color and texture to your favorite room! The front panel is a large mitered square. Mitered triangles are then picked up and knit, creating easy access for your pillow insert! With 3 different sizes available, we know you’ll enjoy working up a set for your bed or sofa.
OUTER BAY
A stylish color-blocked raglan cardigan that is the perfect sweater to add to your wardrobe. The Raglan yoke provides a flattering fit across all sizes and the ribbed placket hugs your neck with short row shaping, creating a gorgeous fold-over collar. Afterthought pockets are a charming accent to this top-down, cool weather staple!
SAGINAW PILLOW
Named after the Saginaw Bay, twisted cables flow in and out, creating an intricate yet surprisingly intuitive design. The stitch pattern is easily memorized. All these elements make for a fun and engaging project that you’ll want to return to time and time again, each time you redecorate. Choose from a square or lumbar shape, or knit both and you’ll have a beautiful set to accent your home!
HERITAGE SOCKS
Wool socks are a knitter’s wardrobe staple and this cozy pair doesn’t disappoint! With a thicker DK weight yarn and simple twisted stitch pattern, the Heritage Socks are a perfect first sock for newer knitters or also a nice quick, mindless project for our experts! The simple pattern and lofty Heritage will fly off your needles!
