New Pattern: Madeira Lace Jacket

by Iris

I am pleased to announce that at long last, this jacket pattern is complete.  I published the pattern on Ravelry.

Madeira Lace Jacket

It is knitted from the top down, and the lace appears every row (not just on right side rows).  However, it is such an easy pattern and so repetitive, that you’ll quickly learn it.  The eyelets appearing on both right and wrong side rows gives it an airiness you do not normally find in lace cardigans.

I enjoy wearing it in all seasons, particularly because the yarn I used, Ensemble Light, is the most heavenly combination of Silk and Cashmere (50/50), and each skein has 400 yards.  So the Tangerine Orange version took 1 skein of Ensemble Light, and 1 skein of Beaded Silk and Sequins Light (shown in color 299 Silver).

The silver version, took 2 skeins of Ensemble Glitter Light in color 914 Silver.  As you can see, the design is  more casual in this version, and because I had extra yarn, I extended the sleeves to make them long sleeves.  MADEIRA_artyarns_6_medium2
