Pattern Description from MarnieMacLean.com: “My mother gave me a few balls of Diva yarn and I knew I wanted to do something that was simple enough to make the yarn itself a focal point. Ok, so I can’t exactly wear this thing to work, but you can’t help but feel a little like a starlet walking around in something this luxurious and sassy. Pair it with a clean black trouser, or a flamenco skirt and you’ll be a boa away from having your own star on the Walk of Fame.”

Gauge: 22st x 28rows = 4”

Yarn Substitution: Diva is a metallic yarn with just a touch of eyelash, and works up at about a worsted weight. Substitute with any worsted weight yarn, though a combo of a very fine mohair and a metallic worsted weight yarn, would produce a similar effect.
