The Nature Collection comprises three beautiful hat and glove/fingerless mitten sets by talented British designer, Anna Elliott. Each of the three designs features a different technique - Acorn is beautifully textured, Bramble is richly bobbled, and Flora features gorgeous colourwork. The patterns are also available individually.
