Vine Pattern for Stripe 4A

  • Feb. 12th, 2009 at 3:48 PM
Even though this pattern contains 26 stitches and a 12 row repeat, it was very easy to knit and addictive! Once I started and could see the vine forming, I didn't want to quit. It's meant to be insertion lace, but I think it would make a lovely scarf. 
The chart and instructions are on my website.

What's a Fascinator? What's a Cloud?

A Fascinator is a ladies' head scarf. I found this one on the internet. I can see how this pattern would work well for this type of scarf.

According to Wikiapedia: A fascinator is a fashion accessory, more commonly worn by women, on the head or in the hair.[1] While it is simply defined as a head scarf, it may be anything from a small hair piece to a more complicated creation, but generally it is less substantial than a hat. It may be made from many materials, e.g. feathers or lace, and attaches to the head by varying means. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascinator


Here's a swatch and a detail from the swatch from The Art of Knitting 1897 that's titled
Design for Knitting Shawls, Fascinators, Clouds, etc.
A cloud was a little harder to find but here's a description from The Best of Everything.http://tinyurl.com/2y7oln
