Necklace in Sequin Yarn

The last materials pack that I bought in Japan 2009 is to make a crochet necklace.

 

 

The yarn is a fine sequined cotton yarn, made in Italy.

 

 

The design looks like petals and leaves on a string.

 

 

The necklace is made up of three different strings

crocheted together.

 

This symbol shows how to make a bud.



 

And this shows how to crochet the strings together.

 

 

The middle string is made first.

 

 

Nice!

The Skirt takes Shape

It's so good! Double seed stitch creates a fabric that is both stylish and that keeps its shape quite well. Perfect for a skirt.

 

 

The front scallop edge gives the skirt a softer look.

 

I look forward to autumn!

A Lacy Cowl Shawl

This cowl shawl is so pretty! That's how I feel when I look at it. The lace pattern looks like flowers and the ruffled edge looks like floral clocks.

 

 

The choice of yarn gave this cowl shawl a heavier drape and more stretch than de models in the pattern. It turns into a little poncho when you pull it down over the shoulders.

 

Since I have a rather firm tension/gauge I knitted the lace pattern twice as long as in the pattern. I even think that it looks better with more lace pattern.
The polo neck falls down because of the heavier drape and turns into a cowl neck.

This cowl shawl is a gift to a friend. She thinks it's awesome! She just love it!

The different lace patterns and the ruffled edge make this design a fun and various project.
