Pattern Description:

A lightweight and easy to wear accessory. Wear them folded over your favorite pair of boots or standing tall to add some extra warmth. Either way, they are simple with understated style.

Inspired by a delightful stay at the quaint "County Clare Hotel" in Milwaukee with my sister. The hotel is loaded with old Irish charm and a cozy little pub to round out the whole experience. While we chatted over a couple pints, this pattern was dreamed up. Hope you find it as cozy and comforting as we do!
