My designs are usually inspired by my travels, but over the past two years only armchair travel has been a possibility. An advantage of being at home more, though, was taking a deep dive into the Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible and working up some stitch patterns in a variety of yarns. I think I found a match-up that works well: this design features a couple of patterns with slight variations knit in a merino/linen yarn that I love.

I used approximately 2/3 of a skein of the Keld fingering weight yarn in the colorway Summer Harvest.

The pattern is suitable for an intermediate level knitter.
