Together in Tweed - wristwarmers for kids and their mums, free pattern!

I finally did find a fun project for my teeny tiny tweed! And I'd love to share it with you:



Child fits mother so hold your baby tight...

In this pattern I teamed up lovely tweed with soft alpaca. Just as good a team as mothers and their kids. Both yarns come in a wide color range so the choices of color combinations are endless. Make one pair to each outfit! One skein of each will give be enough for both mum and kids size!
