Ever tried knitting colourwork with bouclé yarn? It's a lot of fun and adds a beautiful textual dimension to the overall design. As we get so many compliments from customers seeing our sample Soldotna Crop knit using our Curly DK, we decided to make up some kits using this base. We used the colours from Kit 1; however, we did change the order they are knit in the pattern. You could easily try this too, or just follow the pattern. Either way you will end up with a fabulous, textured Soldotna Crop to wear and enjoy!
Kits come with the yarn only; you can purchase the pattern separately via Ravelry. Pattern is by Caitlin Hunter. Kits are dyed to order and take around three weeks to ship.
Our sample size is 40" (101.6cm) and is shown with 6" (15cm) of positive ease on a 34" (86cm) bust.
