Hand Jive's Basic Ascot is one of those knits that is addicting in the best possible way -- the knitting is fun and fast, with just enough to do to keep it interesting as well. The resulting ascot is one of the most practical and attractive accessories ever, something that doesn't just keep your neck warm, but looks really lovely with anything. Once you've finished one, you'll discover that you just have to make one in a different color. And, once you've finished that one . . . well, it's a good thing Nature's Palette has so many beautiful colors.
