Whitecap Waves
Seeing and hearing the rhythm of the waves moving in and out along the shoreline, it’s easy to feel relaxed. Knitting this large bias-knit wrap gives that same feeling of serenity and comfort. In this design, the classic ‘Feather & Fan’ stitch patterns are both charted and written, interspersed with relaxing segments of garter stitch. Featuring a gradient kit of Sun Valley Fibers MCN, the incredibly soft colors contrast with the white as they shift and change throughout the design. The waves of garter stitch appear as you go, enhanced after blocking the undulating lace. Feel the calmness of the ocean. Knit the Whitecap Waves.
