This stitch pattern started as an abstract sketch, but once
I knit it up, it looked to me like a lantern burning in an
opening that resembled an eye. Child of the ’80s that I am,
I immediately started singing the lyrics to the old Bangles
song:

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?
