Pawtuxet is the ninth pattern in my Knit Fresh Rhode Island e-book. There will be a total of 12 patterns in all, 3 of which will only be available as part of the ebook. Patterns will be released monthly or thereabouts :). When you subscribe to the ebook, you will receive periodic notices when a new pattern is ready.
The idea for this ebook came to me after spending a good amount of time visiting various sheep and wool fairs in Rhode Island and Massachusetts and reading more about smaller yarn producers.
This project is my way of combining my love of Rhode Island with my love of yarn! All of the patterns will use yarns that are made in Rhode Island.
Projects will include hats, mittens, scarves, and shawls. All are designed to use one or two skeins and are a great way to try out some unique yarns and support small businesses.
The wrap begins with the center lace panel. It continues into the left “wing”. Stitches are picked up along the adjacent side of the center panel for the right “wing”
Pawtuxet uses 100% alpaca yarn from Ice Pond Farm in Fiskeville, RI. The farm is open for visits and also has an online store to purchase yarn and fiber. The yarn I used is their 2 ply dk weight. Their yarns are available in lovely undyed colors.
