About the stitch pattern:
Iva means willow in Russian. This pattern reminded me of nature and of willow in particular.
The story behind this stitch pattern is that one day I was trying some new pattern and made some kind of mistake while knitting it, because the result I got was not the lace in the instructions, but rather something else. However, I loved it so much that I explored the stitch pattern a little more and came up with the lace pattern you see in my new design “Iva”.

About the yarn:
This is the 4th yarn from Juno Fibre Arts that I have knitted with. All yarns were just wonderful. Alice Sock is no exception. I am hooked on it. It is soft, silky and warm. Such a pleasure to knit with. The color is pearly with such subtle changes in green that it does not interfere with lace, but at the same time adds a little twist to the pattern. Love it :-) It worth every penny ;-)

01.06.13 The pattern is ready to be test knitted.
Sizes available are:
Bust/chest circumference in inches/cm:
XS (34/86.5),S( 36/91.5), M (38/96.5), L (40/101.5), XL (42/106.5)
Yarn required:

The construction of the top is seamless topdown with an exception of side seams. The top features fun to knit slipped stitch lace pattern that gives a beautiful textured effect to the finished garment. The resulting lace pattern reminded me of willow branches and leaves, thus giving the pattern its name.
If you are interested in test knitting, please let me know. I would like for this test knit to be completed with in a month.

Сегодня я хочу вам показать мой новый дизайн “Ива”. Вначале небольшая история. Чуть больше месяца назад я вязала образец одного узора, но то что у меня получилось совсем не было похоже на узор в инструкциях. Однако, мне так понравилось то что получилось на спицах, что немного поэкспериментируя с этим узором я пришла к узору который вы видите на “Иве”. Я обожаю такие ошибки :-))
Топ связан сверху вниз без швов, за исключением боковых швов. Ажурный узорчик очень легко запоминается и вяжется. Эффект который получился с этим узором напомнил мне веточки и листочки ивы и так родилось название этого проекта :-)
