Say hello to Gossamer, my 100th knitting pattern!
Despite the intricate appearance, Gossamer is a surprisingly quick knit. The delicate lace may look fancy, but it’s just yarn overs and simple decreases on garter stitch. And no purling!
You work the body alternating garter stitch and fishnet lace. Then you polish it off with a crisp lace border and picot bind-off.
Gossamer is a one skein wonder for those treasured single skeins in your stash. You’ll need about 366 m / 400 yds of fingering weight yarn.
I used Lichen and Lace 1ply Superwash Merino Fingering (100% merino wool; 366 m / 400 yds per 100 g).
My Gossamer has a soft and muted colorway, but bright colors will make a vibrant shawl for summer and autumn!
