New Ambah’s Festive KAL pattern for 2024
Join us for the 2024 Ambah’s Festive KAL and knit yourself a throw!
Pattern to be published late November, 2024 ahead of the KAL start date.
Knit yourself a gorgeous floral lace throw to treasure over the years to come. Create one for yourself or as a gift for that very special someone. Each square is designed to use a mini-skein of yarn, perfect for a 24-colour set. Or use up those lovely leftovers you’ve been saving and create a patchwork memory blanket of all your favourites. Alternately you could make a monochromatic version with your favourite colour; the options for you to express your creativity are endless. Designed for 24 colours, the Cosmos Blossom Throw could easily be made larger or smaller to suit you.
The pattern includes both written and charted instructions for the lace. A pinhole cast on is recommended, with a video tutorial linked.
