Worked in the round, this knitted square starts from the center and works its way to the hem. The body is crafted entirely in garter stitch, providing a soft and inviting texture. It is then beautifully finished off with a deep openwork border featuring overlapping leaf motifs. This ornate appearance beautifully contrasts with the simple construction, making it an enjoyable project for knitters of all skill levels. You’ll find that this piece knits up quickly and effortlessly, allowing you to create something that celebrates a lifetime of important milestones.

Please note that substituting different yarns and/or needle sizes may result in variations in the overall dimensions of the finished piece, so take care when selecting your materials.

The sample shown is expertly knit using Bare Naked Wools Chebris Lace in the exquisite color crème, and showcases the size medium. Whether you’re knitting for yourself or someone special, this pattern elegantly combines style and function.
