Step quietly into the stillness of the underworld. Hades — Whispers of Asphodel evokes the calm, endless fields of myth with simple, meditative lace that flows in ordered columns—perfect for knitters who love texture and rhythm without fuss. The 6-row repeat is easy to memorize and blocks into crisp, architectural beauty that shines in solid or heathered worsted yarns.

Worked flat in one piece with tidy selvedges, this square joins the Patchwork Pantheon blanket series, pairing elegance with ease. Each motif recalls the pale blossoms of the asphodel—symbols of peace, eternity, and balance.
