It’s Free Pattern Friday!
Today, Damascus in Kingston Tweed (pattern link here).
After adorable Easter Earl earlier this week, we’re moving to something classic and refined.
Damascus is named after the ancient metalworking technique that created the strong and beautiful patterned designs known as Damascus steel.
It’s an apt name. At first glance, this unisex pullover might appear plain, but look closer – Kingston Tweed’s blend of wool, alpaca, and viscose gives it extra interest and a lightly tweedy, almost heathered feel.
The sweater pictured is knitted in color 112 Basalt, one of a selection of sophisticated tones in Kingston Tweed.
Knitted on US6 (4mm) needles, Damascus is a lightweight three-season sweater that works well on its own or as a layering piece.
Work this design seamlessly in the round from the top-down. The body and sleeves are separated at the armhole and worked separately.
We’re delighted to present this versatile piece for free.
Have a fantastic weekend, and happy crafting!
