These patterns are an amazing way to experience the magic of marling and to play with many colors.

Castel and Castelette are richly colored, gauzy parallelograms that use lots of colors in a preset marl sequence. All you have to do is choose 13 colors of lace for Castel (or 11 for Castelette) and then assign letters to each color.

If you have a copy of Making Marls, you don’t need this pattern (Castelette is a skinny Castel using the SOS table for 2 strands and 11 colors in the Appendix). If you have the kits from Imagiknit in San Francisco, the pattern is included with each kit.

The information given above is for Castel. For Castelette, you’ll want about 24 yards per color.
