| Description | Hollywood and Vine is created through cables, twisted stitches, leaves, and a lifted yarnover knot stitch. It is elegant, light, and warm. Large enough to use as a wrap or even as a lap blanket. The addition of a knitted-on border is what bumps the pattern difficulty up to "difficult." Addition of tassels is optional. The pattern is part of an indie designer collaboration, so it is top secret for now. Designer will notifiy testers when sharing is allowed. |
