This handsome muffler with matching watch-cap is a great gift idea for the guy who is impossible to knit for. The simple K2, P2 ribbing is pressed flat which gives the fabric a soft, elegant hand.
Note: If you substitute another yarn for the Ultra Alpaca, swatch and press it to make sure your yarn responds well to hard pressing. Do not use a yarn with synthetic content. You can also view all Churchmouse Classics Patterns.
The finished product was wonderful! I plan on making more for gifts for next year. I think it would be great to use up some of the leftover skeins of fingering yarn or maybe even sport yarn.
Both my mom and I knit this pattern. I've done socks before, and found the pattern extremely easy and pleasing. She's never knit socks, or with such small needles, but still found the pattern easy to follow.
