Milana

The name Milana has many origins with different meanings. I picked this name because I thought several were fitting for the design. The Sanskirt origin means joining together like the single cables from the neckline join together to form the double cable on the front. The Spanish origin means miracle of the blessed virgin and light. I had quite the time writing the instructions for the neckline of this design, but miraculously I accomplished it. Although it does not have a Italian origin, Milan is both a city and a province in Italy; Milana brings to mind grace and sophistication reminiscent of its inspiration which is expressed in this design. The beautiful cables in this design are built upon an eight stitch left crossed cable arranged in certain ways. The whole pattern is like a meditation on a single cable… how one simple twist can create many different design elements.

Shibui Staccato & Pebble were used for the sample, an alternative is suggested.
