It's taken me about 3 months to get around to it but I'm pleased to bring you a new free downloadable design; Finlay. Named after the little tyke it was designed for, this pattern is an easy introduction to lace, looks attractive on both sides and is relatively mindless once you get into the swing. As you can see it's not too frilly, so it's suitable for both sexes; with no filly or fussy edgings and finishing techniques. If for any reason you find you have loose edgings, try working the first and last stitches of each row through the back of the loop.
It's knitted in a lightweight-but-warm 4 ply, but don't be put off. It's an adjustable pattern which could easily be worked with any yarns and needles. Go for something machine washable and maybe slightly thicker if you're in a rush. I myself am a fan of the 4 ply as I'm sure you know.
This is he, I do hope you will make one if you have a baby to knit for. It's really lovely when it's done!
My next one will be knitted in the Rowan Fine Art sock yarn. I can't wait for that one!
is there errata available?
