New Pom Pom! Autumn 2017 issue

The warm, bold Overcheck cowl shown above is a great opportunity to work on your double knitting skills. Make it super soft and washable with [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] or Jo Sharp New Era Merino DK Superwash Yarn, or treat yourself to a little luxury with [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] .

Mittens are a great way for even the quietest of dressers to be a little loud. These Herati bold colorwork mittens are an approachable way to play with contrasting colors. They’d be warm and sturdy knit up in JaggerSpun Maine Line 2/8 Yarn, which boasts enough colors for everyone to find their favorite.

Knit it out of Jo Sharp Classic DK Wool Yarn for a sweater that will last for years in just the right colors.
