Secret Stash Club Knitting: Spring Mug Cozy

Image
There’s something especially satisfying about colourwork in soft pastels and wool, it feels playful and soothing all at once. For our April Secret Stash Club sample, we leaned into gentle, airy shades that bring a fresh spring mood while still giving the motifs enough contrast to stand out clearly.
