Laden

Laden is chock-full of texture and technique.  This “fauxbius” starts with a provisional cast on.  Then a length of reversible cables and beaded double sided lace is knit.  

Finally, the rectangle is twisted, grafted and banded to hide the seam. 

As with all of Laura's designs, stitches are given both charted and written out, and she has loads of tutorials to help you with the tricksy bits!
