Orient Express Crescent by Susan Ashcroft

Orient Express Crescent

This pattern is available for €3.00 EUR buy it now

You can buy the pattern separately or as part of the Trainspotting for Stitchnerds e-book, which will contain 4 patterns: TGV, Orient Express, Shinkan-Zen and Hogwarts Express.

Orient Express - not quite as fast as a TGV, but with plenty of old-style glamour (lace).

This is a modular pattern which you can adapt to various weights; it includes 3 variations for the tips.

Garter stitch and lace combine with the TGV no-fuss crescent construction to make this an easy-to-knit modern twist on a classic.

No short rows.
