Sister to Tulsi in Chickadee, Valerian uses similar motifs in different configurations: Valerian’s knit-purl diamonds in the body are larger, and the smocking border motif is a bit more compressed. The result is a more graphic, chiseled fabric in our sturdy little Finch.

Note: This is a preview from our newest book To The Point: The Knitted Triangle, by Leila Raven, which will be available for preorder on October 31, 2019. This pattern is not available for individual sale.
