Doocot Kit

Kate Davies's Doocot, whose name evokes the Scots word for a dove cote or for any cozy compartment or room, is worked from the top down, shaped by raglan increases. Worked up in cozy Lore (100% Kent lambswool), it offers a warm layering piece that will serve you well this coming season. It may be knit to a cropped length or longer, although the yardage requirements here are for the original cropped version. You will need approximately 37 (42, 47, 52, 58) yards of yarn for every inch added.

Each kit contains sufficient yarn in the color of your choice to make the indicated size and the pattern for Doocot. We will purchase a copy of Doocot for you via Ravelry, so you will automatically receive both a printed copy and an emailed PDF. If you would also like to have this pattern in your Ravelry library, please note your Ravelry ID (not your password!) in the "Notes" field when you check out!

Please note that this kit does not include needles. You will need US Size 4 and US 5 32" circular needles (or size needed to achieve gauge) and double-points (if you don't wish to use the magic loop technique). If you don't already have the appropriate needles at home, you can shop Spun's selection of circular needles here and our selection of double-points here.

If you'd like to make your kit a gift (for yourself or someone else), or if you just wish to keep your new project tidy and organized, add the Spun Rope Handle Bag with Pin to your order and we will package your purchase accordingly!
