Olivera Kit

Olivera is packaged in a craft box as a Crochet-a-long, but with the complete printed crochet pattern in each box, so it can be started immediately.  Obviously, if you wish to knit rather than crochet something for yourself, the yarn can be used for that!   This is ideal as the colours in the kit have been chosen to complement each other. The olive tree stars in poems, paintings, folk songs, sayings… and inspires our new Olivera Shawl CAL. A romantic semi-circular crochet shawl which was designed by @bykaterinadesigns exclusively for our international Crochet-Along Katia Facebook group.

We have made this wrap as you can see in some of the photos included!

The Olivera CAL Katia Kit  contains 5 balls of Cotton-Cashmere by Concept by Katia in new colours: 1 ball in broom yellow (78), ivory (81), off-white (53) and two balls in pine green (79). Each ball has 155 metres making a total of 775 metres. 90% Cotton and 10% Cashmere giving the yarn a supple softness and the full printed pattern with YouTube tutorial back up

We also recommend using the following notions (not included in the kit): 4-mm crochet hook, tapestry needle and scissors. The Olivera Shawl measures approximately 150 x 55 x 220 cm (wide x high x semi-circumference).
