Tīkls

> This design is available exclusively > in my upcoming book. **[PREORDER][1]** > “Nordic Textures in Crochet Garments” > now - releasing June 20, 2026. Tīkls is defined by its square, bold graphic net pattern. It is a design of high contrast and empty spaces, meant to be layered so the colors beneath can interact with the grid. The most striking feature is the ”parachute” effect: a long, hand-crafted i-cord is threaded through the front openings, allowing the wearer to cinch and sculpt the fabric. **Sizes** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) **Finished bust** 45 (52.75, 60.75, 68.5, 76.5)” / 114 (134, 154, 174, 194) cm **To fit bust** 28–32 (35.75–39.75, 43.75–47.75, 51.5–55.5, 59.5 63.5)” / 71–81 (91–101, 111–121, 131–141, 151–161) cm The pattern is designed to fit with 13-17’’ / 33-43 cm of positive ease. **Materials** Sport weight yarn (CYC #2, Fine) Scheepjes Stone Washed (78% cotton, 22% acrylic), 142 yds / 130 m per 50-g ball, or use any sport weight cotton blend yarn to achieve a similar effect Shown in colorway Black Onyx (803) **Estimated yardage / meterage** 1493 (1767, 2000, 2358, 2687) yds / 1365 (1616, 1829, 2157, 2457) m **Gauge** 16 sts and 9 rows = 4’’ / 10 cm in dc A note on gauge: • one full square measures 2.25’’ / 5.5 cm horizontally and 2.5’’ / 6 cm vertically (measured in the direction of work, including the sts and rows around the open space). • one rep (rows 4-6, three sides of the square) measures 1.75’’ / 4.5 cm horizontally and 2’’ / 5 cm vertically. **Hook** H/8 / 5 mm, or size needed to obtain gauge **Notions** tapestry needle **Skills required** Experience with reading and following written crochet patterns (CYC standards) Experience with making crocheted i-cord Experience with making and sewing crocheted garments **#TīklsCardigan** [1]: https://www.bemycozy.com/product/nordic-textures-in-crochet-garments-by-linda-skuja/
