Cornish Heritage Collection
Discover the enchanting Cornish Heritage Collection, a unique selection of knitting patterns that celebrates the rich history of Cornwall through beautifully crafted accessories. This collection features a stylish hat, a cozy cowl, and elegant fingerless gloves, each inspired by a historic site managed by the Cornwall Heritage Trust, making every piece a treasure to knit and wear.
The stunning Treffry hat pays homage to the magnificent Treffry Viaduct, incorporating its majestic pillars and arches into its design. The King Doniert's cowl takes inspiration from the intricate Celtic knot carvings found on King Doniert's stone, adding a touch of historical elegance to your wardrobe. Lastly, the Caer Bran gloves are adorned with motifs inspired by the ancient ring ditches and trackways of Caer Bran, connecting you to Cornwall's fascinating past.
Crafted using detailed techniques, this collection features intricate cables, slipped stitches, and twisted stitches for a fine finish. The Treffry hat also includes a striking lateral braid, elevating its design further. Each pattern caters to a range of adult sizes—small, medium, and large for the hat and gloves, while the cowl is single-size. To ensure a perfect fit for every knitter, each pattern includes a comprehensive Size Modification section that offers specific suggestions for adding stitches or rounds, step-by-step calculations, and chart adjustments where applicable.
The Cornish Heritage Collection patterns are available in both charted and written formats, making it easy for knitters of any skill level to follow. Plus, with each purchase, £2 will be donated to the Cornwall Heritage Trust, supporting the preservation of these iconic sites.
