Butterfly Kisses Pattern
Materials
First of all, I'd like to thank my friends at Skacel for providing the yarn and addi Natura dpns I used for this project. These products are available locally at many yarn shops and online at Makers' Mercantile.The yarn is HiKoo Sueño and is a blend of 80% Superwash Merino / 20% Viscose from Bamboo. I used color 1497, Flamingos Tonal, for the pattern and you will also see color 1450, Violet Tonal, in the KAL tutorials.
What is a Butterfly Kiss?
This earwarmer and fingerless mitts set features a stitch commonly known as the bowknot stitch.Butterfly Kisses: When you blink your eyes close to another person's skin so that your eyelashes brush across their skin.To me this stitch looks something like a cross between a little butterfly and eyelashes so the name butterfly kisses seemed like a perfect match.
Skills
Before beginning you should be familiar with basic knit and purl stitches and knitting in the round.During the KAL I will be demonstrating how to do a provisional cast on, make the bowknot stitch, join stitches with Kitchener Grafting, use a long tail cast on in the round, shape the thumb gusset with raised (make 1) increasing, bind off in the round, pick up stitches for a gap-free thumb.
You can find a full list of techniques that will be taught and links to the lessons in the Butterfly Kisses KAL Introduction.
