Inspired by Gresham’s Historic Downtown Carnegie Library, stitches worked in alternating rows, of front or back loops only, create an interesting texture that echoes the beautiful chevron brickwork of the library. Chevrons appear again in the architectural lace on the neck wrap’s lower edge. Try different colorways for a bolder or more subtle statement piece.
