We have a gorgeous new sample here in the shop, just in time for our last week of savings with October's Yarn of the Month!
- Pattern: coco knits Katarina
- Size: Small (33-36") (available up to size 46")
- Yarn: Nashua Handknits Creative Focus Worsted (75 wool/25 alpaca, 215yds/100g) 5 balls in Lavender Heather #0712
- Needles: US 7
My amazing sample knitter, Maribel, finished this just in the nick of time! Creative Focus Worsted has one more week as the yarn-of-the-month, plenty of time for people to grab some great savings. Regularly $8.90 a ball, it's currently on sale for $7.20 - for 215 yards!
The wide garter stitch edgings around the neck and fronts create an easy-to-wear look for a wide range of sizes. You can close it up tightly by overlapping the fronts, or let it hang open casually for a drapier style.
The cuffs widen at the bottom in a repeat of the garter motif of the shawl collar.
(We have ours closed with an Annie Adams Shawl Stick in Twig)
A little spot of Spring on a dreary rainy day!
So pretty - I love it!
