Gardengate

Introducing Gardengate: a stunning knitting pattern inspired by the intricate and beautiful wrought iron gates that grace gardens throughout Scotland. This versatile design is crafted seamlessly and in the round from the top down, making it easy to try on as you knit. You can effortlessly customize the length to suit your style and adjust for fit.
