5 for 4if you buy any 5 Åsa Tricosa patterns at the same time you get the least expensive one for free.

bocallave can be flirty, sleek, festive (I see glitter), casual. It’s up to you.
Knit the same pattern in different yarn bases and weights – all knitted to the same gauge. That is, you can make quite different garments from one pattern as it works equally well for lace or fingering or sport.

Sneaky keyholes in the neckline and the upper sleeve add a little… je ne sais quoi… i n t e r e s t – both to the appearance as well as to the knitting, which proceeds along, even for a Ziggurat, unusual paths.

To make your knitting joyful and the instructions easy to navigate, you’ll find more than the usual photo tutorials in the pattern.
