My mom had this yarn in her stash for goodness knows how long, she mentioned she initially got it because she wanted to knit a tee with it. I got her a pattern from Ravelry to fit her preferred style (flat knitting) but she had some trouble with the lace pattern (abbreviations like k2tog and ssk are new to her, at least in name lol). I told her no worries mom, I’ll knit it for you!

This is actually the second piece, I only have to knit the top lace pattern and it’ll be ready for blocking and sewing together, and just at the beginning of summer, yay (southern hemisphere here).

Pattern: Angel Tee by Rina Leyton (available in English and Spanish) Yarn: Unknown viscose yarn, sport weight

That’s exactly what a lot of us love about it :)

Like anything, it’s simple enough to get started you just need to put in a bit of practise to get the muscle memory down. And you can make a lot of very cool stuff with only the beginner stitches. But there are advanced techniques to keep things interesting once you have the basics sorted.

@thegiddystitcher @Aarrodri The hardest bit is understanding and being able to follow a pattern in the right way!
