A few months ago I decided to re-knit one of my Loopy Leaves pattern. Its an older one, one that I think never really got the attention it deserved. This weekend it had its coming out party at Stitches South at the In the Making booth. I thought I would share with you as well since its a perfect quick little knitted gift for the upcoming Mother’s Day.
This version of the Loopy Leaves used three strands of Habu Textiles held together (all lace weights). You can use the recommended yarns in the pattern or choose your own three lace weight yarns or even use a fingering yarn. The idea here is to get an interesting texture and drape. I hope you enjoy knitting this as much as I did.
