Sativum

The third design for 2023’s N Club was Sativum Set! And now she's available for all to knit!

The word “Sativum,” borrowed from Latin, means “cultivated,” perfectly describing the rich and earthy vibes of the last kit for 2023’s N Club!

Sativum Cowl, designed for wrapping comfort, has beads adorning the wheat stitch pattern and is long enough to wrap twice around your neck. And the hat, a fusion of slouchy and beanie styles, completes your new fall ensemble. Sativum Set comes with a full length pattern exclusive video tutorial to talk you through the tips you need to have success knitting it!

Sativum Set is knit with two complementary yarns from Little Fox Yarn. True Wash DK (a GOTS-certified 100% merino wool lovely round yarn with bounce and crisp stitch definition) is paired with Willow, a rustic merino/hemp blend. The contrasting hues of these two yarns come together perfectly and just scream “aaaauuuuutuuuuuumn!!!”
