INFO
This design is a visual interpretation of the many visible and invisible threads that bind us all together through the ebbs and flow of life; where everything is inter-connected and come together regardless of time and space.  

An easy lace stitch pattern will create a fascinating woven basket pattern that represents these Woven Connections. The basket weave sections flow between panels of half-brioche stitch, using the simple ‘knit one below’ technique for which a video tutorial is available.

An intuitive and addictive knit, this accessory flies off the needles, thanks to fully written-out directions with stitch counts as well as a schematic and an easy-to-read chart.
