Through the Trees

Designed for Pom Pom Quarterly, Issue 35: Winter 2020

Notes: Through the Trees is worked in the round, starting with a provisional crochet cast-on. A two-colour rib is worked first before moving into a single colour lace pattern repeat, ending with a second two-colour band of rib at the top. The rib is folded and joined by knitting it to the WS of work at the top of the lace repeat. The lining is then knit and joined by knitting it to the WS of work at the start of the lace repeat. Finally, the bottom rib is folded and joined to the lining with Kitchener stitch.
