MODERN LACE
Jeanette Sloan is the star designer behind the latest instalment of the MDK Field Guides series, produced by the Modern Daily Knitting team. MDK Field Guide No. 15: Open explores the possibilities of openwork stitches, and offers five chic, beautiful projects for women.
‘Mood Cardigan’ is a swingy, cocoon-like cardigan, decorated with a textured lace pattern and edged with mitred ribbing. The ‘Clerestory’ shawl is a trapezoid worked edge to edge, in either a light 4ply or aran yarn for dramatically different results.
For lace novices, there’s a rib lace scarf and the ‘Tumbling Block’ scarf, with simple, pretty stitch patterns. The ‘Aperture Stole’ combines two elegant lace motifs with a marled fabric.
