Yule Vine

*A nordic whimsical goth mug cozy with a twisting two-color vine — worked in Intarsia Cables, no stranded colorwork required.* Wrap your favorite mug in a little holiday magic. Yule Vine uses my signature Intarsia Cables technique — all the drama of a two-color cable, with none of the stranded-colorwork fuss. A single vine winds and crosses its way around the cozy in rich red and green, finished off with a tidy i-cord button loop. The pattern is fully charted and written row-by-row, so you can work whichever way you knit best. A companion video walks through the cast-on and an Easier-Than-Kitchener-join — linked right in the pattern. Yule Vine is part of the [Intarsia Cables 101][1] collection. If you fall in love with the technique, the full ebook includes two more designs — a headband and a pair of mitts — plus a deep dive into the method itself. ✦ Nordic whimsical goth aesthetic ✦ Intarsia cables — no colorwork stranding ✦ Fully charted + written instructions ✦ Quick knit, finishes in an evening Skill Level Adventurous beginner. Comfort with intarsia cables helps; the intarsia cable technique is walked through in the pattern and video tutorial. **Sizing** Width: 9.5 cm / 3.75 in Lenght: 25.5 cm / 10 inch (button loop not included) **Yarn** Garnstudio DROPS Nepal (65% wool, 35% alpaca) — 82 yd / 75 m per 50 g The whole finished piece weighs less than 20 grams.
