Gradient Mesh

This sweater is based on a triple-square motif, which highlights a beautiful gradient of 8, 9 or 10 shades of Milarrochy Tweed (depending on the size) across a neutral background or vice versa.

It is a two-shade beanie, which has my name because it turned out exactly as I wanted it and it fits very comfy on my head!

Hope you are all well and still keeping up your spirit in these long, challenging times.
