Still Life With Swatches: April 25, 2011

April 25, 2011

Yarn: King Cole Merino Blend DK, 100% Superwash Wool, in Wine.

Needles: 4 mm / 6 US

Gauge: 5.5 stitches and 7.5 rows per inch

Stitch Pattern: Mrs. Hunter's Pattern

Source: CEoS, p. 506 (one of many).

Comments: I think I might have blocked this one too strongly - are the holes really supposed to be that big? I saw it used in a cardigan pattern the other day - I'll have to go look it up again and compare...

I think this would be divine in a cardi, along with some stockinette in the right spots!
