Negua

INSPIRATION

Negua means winter in Basque. A time of meditation in which knitwear becomes our great ally and invites us to introspection. In this pattern you will find textures created by openwork, cable knits and bobbles. The repetitiveness of the pattern will turn the initial challenge into a structure of repetitions with which you will become familiar.

DIFFICULTY LEVEL. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?

Intermediate. To knit, purl, make increases & decreases and to work in the round.
