Sylvan Veil

LAUNCH SALE — 25% OFF UNTIL JUNE 10, 2026 Discount applied automatically at checkout, no code needed. SYLVAN VEIL A rectangular lace wrap A delicate fern-and-canopy lace, worked in fingering-weight wool and alpaca, that opens into a soft veil after blocking. Worked flat from the bottom up with a slipped-stitch chain edge, finished with narrow garter borders. The wrap drapes equally well as a stole around the shoulders, loosely cowled at the neck, or wrapped as an oversized scarf. The sample is shown in DROPS Flora "Dark Green". FINISHED MEASUREMENTS 45 × 160 cm / 17¾ × 63 inches, after wet blocking YARN 175 g / 735 m (805 yards) of fingering-weight wool or wool-alpaca blend. Sample uses DROPS Flora (65% wool / 35% alpaca, 50 g = 210 m) in Dark Green. Purchase 4 skeins / 200 g to allow for tension variation. Any fingering yarn with a matching gauge will substitute beautifully. GAUGE 22 sts × 28 rows = 10 × 10 cm in lace pattern on 4.5 mm needles, after wash and blocking. Tension matters more than needle size — I knit tightly and most knitters will need to go down to 4 mm or 3.5 mm to match gauge. NEEDLES 4.5 mm (US 7) circular, 60 cm, or straights of the same size. NOTIONS 6 stitch markers, tapestry needle, blocking wires or T-pins. WHAT'S INCLUDED - Full written instructions - Charted and written lace pattern - Decorative slipped-stitch selvedge technique LEVEL Intermediate lace. Comfort with chart reading, yarn-overs, and 4-to-1 decreases is required. Not recommended as a first lace project. © Alёna Bat, 2026. For personal, non-commercial use.
