Introducing Zephyr!

There is something impossibly sweet about lacy knitted accessories. I’m always amazed by how warm they remain despite being created from groups of little holes and I love how eyelets fill up with halo.

This is a very simple lace pattern, intuitive and easy to memorize. It’s a traditional combination of knits and yarn overs that has been in use for many years. It has a sweetness about it that comes from its simplicity and its gentle meandering lines. 

Worked in the ever popular Berroco Ultra Alpaca whose dreamy softness and delicate halo never fail to delight me, Zephyr is whispery light yet warm as toast. 

The cowl is a simple once-around ring edged in ribbing. The hat is slouchy and round and trimmed with a pompom. I’ve used a pretty fur one, but there will be sufficient yardage to make a matching one from yarn if you prefer. And how’s this for a bonus…you can make matching worsted weight socks! They are the Maypole Socks and they are just as simple and pretty as Zephyr.

I’m hoping you’ll enjoy Zephyr! I’m happy to offer this pattern which includes instructions for both hat and cowl at 50% off this week through Friday, December 21, 2018. It’s quick to knit and would make an awesome gift…you’ve still got time! Just head over to my Ravelry shop, pop Zephyr into your shopping cart and enter the coupon code LACYSET2 at checkout. Then cast on!

And don’t forget! Mittens are also featured this week. Fresh Snow, Mercury, Tess and Hay Bay Mittens are all 50% off and make great quick gifts. The coupon code for the mittens is MAKEMITTS4. 

(Feel free to share a link to this page with your friends, but please don’t give out the coupon code. It helps me a lot when folks come here to visit.) If you like these little discounts (I usually offer them on Fridays) and are interested in my work, I’d love to see you over at the new Ravelry group Friends of Littlechurch Knits. Until we meet again, happy knitting!
