What you need to know

Live la vie bohème with Veronica Shaw's multi-textured arm warmers and cowl combo

This fabulous set is perfect for those of you who love unusual accessories. Each section uses three differently textured yarns held together to create a really interesting fabric and the cowl combines both rib and moss stitch. The use of three yarns at once makes these accessories super chunky so they're ideal for wintery days. LKT designer Veronica has opted for a bright pink crocheted edge worked in fluffy yarn but you could always use blanket stitch to give a similar finish.
