Mercato dei Fiori
A colourful triangle combining stranded and lace knitting.
The stranding is worked back and forth, quite loosely to create a more open texture than normal. The stranding features small flower motifs and petal-like stripes in the outer border - a good project for being creative with your favourite colours.
The black version (top photo) was knit on 3.25mm/US3 needles with Black MC, Kiss for the flowers, Navy and Shale stripes, Kiss for chart D, and Framboise for the last WS row of chart D and the bind off. Finished dimensions after blocking: approximately 97cm/38in x 51cm/20in.
The blue version (second photo) was knit on 5mm/US8 needles with Rowan Pure Wool 4Ply, Indigo 330m/360yds, Port 13m/15yds, Raspberry 15m/17yds, Powder 17/19yds, Kiss 40m/45yds, Hyacinth 36m/40yds.
Finished dimensions after blocking: approx. 130cm/51in x 62cm/24.5in (The other colourways in the main image were created digitally).
The pdf contains short written instructions, and charts for the stranded and lace sections. Familiarity with back & forth stranding with multiple increases is a must for this pattern!
