Bristol uses a modular approach to pretty Hespeler, working an increasing center panel in garter stitch, binding off and picking up around the bottom two triangle edges to begin the border, and working a border of alternating lace and garter stitch, shaped with short rows. In our lace weight Piper, this piece is deliciously float-y and warm.
