Murron

This is probably my favorite design so far! I bought a Japanese stitch dictionary a month ago and fell in love with this stitch pattern. After lots of swatches with different arrangements and edging I came up with this design. I knew it would be perfect for a summer cardigan. The lace pattern can seem overwhelming at first glance, but since it is a saddle shoulder you get to begin the lace in small parts before having to work it over the entire sweater. I used Sweet Paprika Messa di Voce yarn which is from a small hand dyed yarn company out of Canada. It is wonderful yarn, I highly recommend their yarn. I named Murron after the female heroine in Braveheart because I had to have a brave heart to tackle the design. The cardigan has a much happier ending though, it did not get slaughtered.

Sweet Paprika Messa di Voce was used for the sample, an alternative is suggested.
