Lace Knitting Pattern
Beautiful Spanish lace inspired by the balmy Madeira Coast works up fast for
just a "little bit" of a vest. Keep knitting and you have a tunic vest doubling as a
swimwear cover up.
Madeira Aperitif - Skill Builder
This lace knitting pattern is a refreshing compliment to any wardrobe knit in a light weight cotton or linen yarn. Flattering on any figure with a wide range of finished sizes. Even if you are new to knitting lace, all of the basics are covered with full color photos and detailed instructions and as Nanette found out, we are always here to help:
"Time has definitely gotten away from me so I apologize for not replying to your email sooner. I just wanted to thank you so very much for clarifying the yarn over stitch for me. You were correct that I was not doing it right. It is difficult to explain a technique in writing but you did a great job in helping me! After making my gauge, I have begun making the vest with the Madeira Aperitif pattern. Needless to say, I am so excited with the project that I am anxious to finish so I can wear it." -- Nanette
