Our February 2023 knitwear pattern was created exclusively for Two Sheeps LLC by Jay Katzenberger of Papa Bear Knits! (@papabearknits on Instagram)
Following our February 2023 calendar theme and inspiration photo of Mount Hood in Oregon, Jay was compelled to create a pattern using cables that look like the mountain peaks! Simple knitting with a complex look and feel when it's done!
Jay designed the Ridgelines Toque using 1 skein of superwash DK-weight yarn that was dyed exclusively for Two Sheeps by Christopher Walker of Cabin Boy Knits (@cabinboyknits). Natural dyes were used for this yarn, including cochineal, lac, and indigo.
All (100%!) of profits from the sale of this beautiful hat pattern will be donated to Hearts 4 Henry (@hearts_4_henry), an organization that supports children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and their families. Jay selected this organization and will continue to send all pattern profits to H4H! 🐑🐑💗
