Pattern test for MADuNaier

01-07-2016

Hooked through row 21, no issues so far. Pattern does take some reading through but what unfolds is another beautiful pattern from Michele.

This pattern is best in a fingering weight, I just grabbed what I had on hand for quick hooking which technically is a worsted but with this type of yarn being more roving style, it doesn’t seem very “worsted” to me. lol

I would love to do this pattern again in a long gradient yarn, it would be beautiful!

Here’s a tip: never EVER test a pattern using Unforgettable yarn. I love this stuff but omg trying to frog it is ridiculous. Bad choice of yarn for testing but not bad looking over all so it’s all good. lol

Very important to keep track of where you are and what row you’re on in the repeat sections!

All finished and on the pins. This yarn doesn’t technically “need” to block but I wanted to see if I could stretch out the lace. :D

I ended up doing 3 repeats of rows 10-21 and did the decrease rows to make the crescent shape. Michele has offered a ton of shape and size options with this pattern!
