Notes

The colors in this indie dyed, speckled yarn grabbed me. It reminded me of Alice in Wonderland, so I wanted to make something dreamy out of it. After swatching lots of different stitch patterns, a bias knit combination of Seed stitch with an adaptation of Feather & Fan stood out. I added a very fine thread of mohair in alternating sections to give it an extra touch of magic.

I really wanted there to be tassels on the points but when I got to the end there was very little yarn left. So I split the remaining yarn in half and managed to make 2 decent sized tassels. When writing the instructions I assumed that other knitters may run into the same issue, so I explained how to make the tassels like I did, with just a small amount of yarn.

You can find Republic of Wool yarn here. She changes the colors she’s dying regularly so this colorway may not be available but she has lots of other beautiful colors in fingering weight. Watch for weekly updates when she adds new yarn to the shop. Be ready, they sell out fast!
