Hiverbloom Toque

The festive Hiverbloom set (also available in an [eBook][1] with my *Petals and Lace* sweater) combines knits and purls within a stranded colorwork motif, drawing on the tradition of Bohus Stickning knitting from Sweden. In this design, blooms are represented in a geometric style and a maximum of two colors are worked per round. A Latvian braid and seeded rib provide additional visual interest and texture. A companion cowl pattern is available [here][2].
