The second pattern in the Souvenir Skeins collection is here!

This pattern was inspired by my visit to the French Quarter of New Orleans! Almost every building is beautifully decorated with intricate wrought iron railings and balconies. I was inspired by the openness and shapes within the railings to create this classic but unique design. I also chose yarn from a NOLA yarn shop (The Quarter Stitch) and dyed by a NOLA dyer (Sugarplum Circus)!

Pattern is written in US crochet terms.
Yarn: Fingering/sock weight, approximately 280 (400) yards. I used Sugarplum Circus “Sugarplum Sock” for my sample, which contained 437 yards/100g.
Hook: 3.5mm, or size needed to meet gauge. Note: About half of testers had to go down to a 3mm hook to meet gauge.
