contemplation I pattern

The lamp once out

A slow walk through a spring wood, smell of earthy goodness, dappled light recharges. Be still, be calm. Quietly knitting a pattern, watching the self striping yarn create undulations in the lace. This is all about contemplation and reflection.

The simple lace pattern, knitted in the round, creates stripes without having to do any work for it. Block it how you'd like. It's the perfect accessory for warmer weather.

Knitted on 3mm needles using just yarn overs and decreases, this is a perfect introduction to lace knitting. You'll receive a pattern pdf by email.

Yarn: you'll need a laceweight yarn of around 650m / 50g, with a striping element to it.

Finished dimensions after blocking: width 35cm / 13.75 inches, length 40cm / 15.75 inches.
