It’s Flash Pattern Friday!
On the last Friday of the month, we take a beautiful paid pattern and set it free for a limited time through Ravelry. Today it’s Branscombe, crocheted in Kingston Tweed (Ravelry link here).
This design by Edie Eckman was originally released as part of Kingston Tweed Vol. 1, a collection of seven beautiful projects in sophisticated Kingston Tweed.
In her design, Edie very cleverly created a shaped top edge that sits comfortably on the shoulders, avoiding bunching and letting the contrasting colorwork show.
A V stitch, along with graceful shells along the border, give this shawl an open, drapey feel.
Kingston Tweed works beautifully here. Its alpaca content gives an oh-so-subtle halo to the finished piece, softening the spaces between stitches.
Friends, we are awfully low on the dark gray Basalt color shown in the model. Fortunately, the entire palette is harmonious, drawn from nature to look beautiful together. We’ve put together some alternative color combinations to consider above.
As always, I’m all about the cool tones. Maybe some combination of 106, 109, and 111? So soothing.
To get Brnascombe free, use the buy it now or add to cart links on the Ravelry pattern page linked here. Then enter coupon code FLASH where you see the “use a coupon code” links that appear during purchase, and click “apply.”
