A knitting pattern for a 'broken rib' style beanie hat and scarf set for children (fits up to age 8 approximately) made using Glencroft's fully traceable Yorkshire Dales Clapdale Wool 100g DK hanks. Read more about the Clapdale wool project here. We've been producing 100% wool knitwear at Glencroft since we were established in 1987, however hand knit wool is a new area for us we needed to learn all about. Luckily here in the Yorkshire Dales we are surrounded by lots of hand knitters and hand knit shops who have been a fantastic, enthusiastic and friendly resource for us to check our hand knit wool with, get their feedback and their essential advice. One local expert is Sandra Oakshott who used to run Beckside Yarns just up the road from our warehouse in Clapham, she has helped with the accuracy of our labelling and was first to test a hank of Clapdale Wool. She has also been kind enough to provide us with free knitting patterns - this one for a kids hat and scarf, and another pattern for an adult bias scarf.
