It’s Free Pattern Friday!
Today, Norwood knitted in Whisper Lace (pattern link here).
Rachel Brockman’s gorgeous Norwood was originally a pay-only pattern, but today we’re setting it forever free!
It was first published as part of the Lakeside Retreat collection of patterns designed in our Fibra Natura line of natural fiber yarns.
Rachel’s penchant for creating a simple, clean design and then adding a decorative twist is beautifully realized here. The majority of the body is a field of simple stockinette…
…with one side panel graced with decorative cables, lending a whole new dimension to the design.
The eight row cable repeat is both written and charted. Use what works best for you. You may notice something else about this pullover.
It’s very light! In luxurious laceweight wool/silk blend Whisper Lace, worked here on US3 / 3.25mm needles, Norwood is a perfect piece for those spring and fall days when the weather isn’t quite sure what it wants to do, or when you want to cut the chill of the breeze coming off the water. Rachel leans into that intention with graceful three-quarter length sleeves.
All together, Norwood is a beautiful, versatile design in a luxurious and surprisingly affordable yarn.
We hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Happy crafting!
