Earlier this year I had the pleasure of being part of a brand new collection releasing today for Hinterland called Hinterland Straits! I used Hinterland Range, a lofty worsted weight, for both of my patterns - Compass Shawl and Rivers Wrap. I found Range so inspiring to work with and really enjoyed designing and knitting both of these cozy and versatile accessories. I hope you enjoy each of these pieces as much as I do.

HINTERLAND STRAITS COLLECTION - Compass Shawl & Rivers Wrap

Both of these new patterns are available today on Ravelry (Compass Shawl HERE and Rivers Wrap HERE) and you can also find them in lovely print form at Knit City alongside the samples at the Hinterland booth. Yep - you got it - you can try them on :) Just be warned - once you try one on you won't want to take it off! I literally knit them while wearing them. That's how soft and warm Range is. It feels wonderful against your body. 

You can find other patterns in the collection as well from designers Andrea Rangel, Lindsay Inouye and Jane Richmond. There's garments, accessories and slippers :) You can view the look book for the Hinterland Straits collection HERE.

Here's some more about my new lovelies! First up The Compass Shawl...

COMPASS SHAWL

Diagonal rib stitching contrasted with ribboned stockinette creates a dynamic texture throughout the Compass Shawl. Knit in Hinterland Range, the fabric shows off a subtle contrast in two tones, creating lines and patterns that resemble crests of waves. This shawl is an engaging knit, resulting in a light but cozy layer.

And next is the Rivers Wrap....

RIVERS WRAP

The Rivers Wrap beautifully showcases the colours of Hinterland Range, creating contrasting bias stripes in five tones that echo tidelines and swirls of coastal waterways. The garter stitch fabric utilizes artful colour shifts throughout its length, creating dynamic and gorgeous contrast whether it lies flat or whirled around you like a warm, gentle hug.

You can find more information about each pattern and their technical details/photos on Ravelry below:
