The oblique lines of twisted stitches on this cotton top do not stop until they reach the end. Sizes small - 2x, 34 - 48 bust size. You can also view all Ilga Leja Handknit Designs Patterns.
I have now tried this pattern twice with no good results. My in the round numbers don't come out even. I seem to grow or loose a stitch and I don't know where. The yarn is so soft but it splits too easy as I knit. I'll use this yarn on something. My advice don't try this pattern, its way too frustrating
I used a different type of yarn and even with the change (alpaca and maybe a little lighter weight) it turned out as good as the picture. Also I appreciate the excellent directions in the pattern. The directions were so well written that I consistently come back to see if she has any new patterns that are of interest to me. It just lays so nicely around the head and shoulders, I will be making another one soon.
I knit this up in Lorna's Laces Heaven. It only took me two weeks, but the resulting capelet looks much more impressive than a quick knit. This was my first Ilga Leja pattern and I absolutely loved the helpful hints as well as chart and written instructions. Everything was well explained and left me with NO pattern questions or issues to work out on my own. An absolute pleasure to knit and wear!
