Product Details

Knit in the round, this cape explores a knitted vision of Cape Flattery, the northwestern-most point of the contiguous United States. The lace in the cape reflects the fish, the invertebrates, and the mammals that live and play at this remote part of Washington state, as well as the vast variety of plant life that nourish their life.

The three lace patterns highlighted in Cape Flattery have been used by lace knitters for centuries, and, to me, represent the sheer geologic age and ecologic diversity of this region. Chosen with an eye towards introducing knitters to the joy and wonder of lace knitting, the Bead, Small Arrow, and Spider stitches showcased herein are simple in design and execution. Bead stitch is a “true” lace pattern in that it is worked on every round.

The spiral edge neckline evokes cresting waves. To work the Spiral Edge, bring the tip of the left needle up, over, and under the garter ridges between the working needles.
