Losanga features a unique stitch cluster pattern that results in a beautiful cable and lace like pattern. Interspersed with lozenges of stocking stitch and rib, this design plays well with hand-dyed yarn.

The pattern is worked in the round and bottom up. 4 sizes are included, and is provided in written format with a chart for the main stitch pattern. Illustrated tutorials are included to help guide you through, and a link to a video for the special cluster is also provided.
