Haplander Square

A warm hap with a lively design serves many uses for chilly days, both indoors and out. Knit from neck to hem in cozy, natural wools using simple stitches, this triangular piece will bring lots of joy and fun, both in the making and the wearing when fall rolls around again.

Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size, drape, and yardage requirement.
