Hi!

I have finally gone and written out a pattern for this massive project. This pattern originally used Erquy by Army of Knitters as it’s inspiration, but there’s now quite a bit of difference between the two. It also incorporates bits of the Spanish Peacock chart by Meg Swansen, and the skirt design is heavily based on a piece done by Irina Makarova.

Please note this has been designed to be worn over an underdress with a full tulle skirt to support the weight of the skirt, especially if beaded. It’s currently untested for size small and size medium, I’m currently working through a test for size Extra Large so at this stage the yarn totals for sizes other than size Large are an estimate. I had a few people ask me if there was a pattern for this so I knuckled down, did the math and here we are. This pattern is definitely for medium to advanced knitters, familiarity with lace charts is recommended though I have written down the pattern as well.

There may be some errors and funky stuff, please let me know so I can amend them.

Note: If swatching the Haapsalu yarn , it’s about 10% smaller than the Wool and Works Suri Silk Lace weight, as such size up by one pattern size and you should be fine.
