Craylola

With its unique diagonal lace “lines” offset by wedges of stockinette stitch Craylola lets your colorful yarn do all the singing.  The migrating yarnover lace sections at each end are highlighted with pre-strung beads, though if bling isn’t your thing, you can skip that step!

Craylola has a knitting technique for everyone– Stockinette Stitch! Beaded Yarnovers! Short Rows! Integrated I-Cord Edging! Knit in two halves that are lace-grafted together, you get to knit with every last drop of your yarn, which is always a PLUS! Instructions are both charted and written out, and the pattern comes with detailed video tutorials.  Craylola promises you will learn something and have fun doing it!
