Lisbon is a cropped spring/ summer pullover designed for people who enjoy the little things in life. It provides two different looks—a fancy Fleurette panel at the front and subtle sexiness with the deep backline, or a plunging neckline down at your beautiful chest with a peek of a tiled panel under your hairline.

Lisbon is knit from the top down. The front and back are worked flat separately, then joined at the bust and knitted in the round to hem. The sleeves are picked up and worked in the round to the cuff. A faux seam is worked on the sides of the body and sleeves to give structure to the linen fabric and then the seams are closed using a mattress stitch at the end.

• Pattern is written with lace panel as front and deeper neck as back; however, pullover can be worn either way.

Accordion is a very “simple-to-knit” shawl/wrap which is constructed by repeating “yarn over twice” lace ladder stitches. By one side increasing, this shawl will be formed into a right triangle shaped shawl. The Accordion in the picture is a large version made with 3 skeins of merino/silk fingering yarn.

This shawl is easily made small or large size or any size wanted by adding more yarn.

Yarn: 2/3 (small/large) skeins of Eve Chamber Textile’s Midnight Sky 4ply (75% merino, 25% Silk) 400m/100g (437yd/3.5oz)

Other yarn suggestions: Any fingering yarn with Wool/Silk blend would do the job. Please note! The more silk is in blend, the more drapery the fabric gets.

Gauge: 24 sts x 28 rows in 10cm x 10cm (4”x4”) in lace pattern after blocking. (4sts pattern repeats 6 times in 10 x10)
