We have a double helping of accessories for you this week in knitting and crochet.
Our accessories are quick and easy to make and will keep you cosy while adding a splash of colour.
For crochet lovers we have a set consisting of snood, fingerless mitts and headband. They are all in one size.
We have used Rico Melange Chunky in the shade Turquoise-Magenta (046). If you are making the set, you will need five 50-g balls. The magazine instructions state what you need if you want to make part of the set.
This is a wool/acrylic mix designed to give you soft fades and strong stripes as you work. There is a large range of shades available and you can view them and order direct from www.ethelandem.com.
If you like to knit your accessories, we have a cosy hat and smart bag for you, both are made from just one 200-g ball of Rico Creative Chic-Unique. The shade used is Forest (004) and you can also order this direct from www.ethelandem.com.
The hat is a mix of wide rib and garter-stitch with a pompom adding the finishing touch.
The bag features stocking-stitch (knit one row, purl one row) with garter-stitch handles and a gathered rose and loop fastening.
Every accessory we are bringing you this week will work up very quickly, so why not treat yourself to all five?
