The pattern is from a book called Luxury Knits. I had bought this book for a v-neck raglan pattern in it that I thought my mom would like, but she ended up picking this lacey one. I'm done the back, hurray!
Here are some other patterns from this book that I kinda like:
Oops, nipple!
Reminds me a little of Green Gable, but lace on the sleeves.
I plan to use this stitch pattern on some Rowan Kidsilk Haze...
Most of these patterns are a bit oversized and not very fitted, but that can always be changed. The stitch patterns and basic shapes are really lovely, and I usually end up tweaking patterns anyway. I would recommend this book for some nice lacey patterns in a variety of styles - cardigans, pullovers, short/long and sleeveless versions. But you might need to change up the sizing a bit and add some shaping.
Very nice work! Looks like a good book too. I prefer less fitted knits for myself... I'll have to add that to my never-ending Amazon wishlist.

Very pretty! I've used the baby silk too and it's so nice.
ReplyDeleteGreat patterns, and your mom should be very happy- looks gorgeous. BTW, you will love the Grand Canyon- I'm so glad we went! Make sure you drive through Oak Creek canyon if you are driving between Sedona and Flagstaff- amazing views. I could bore anyone to death with all our pics!
