If you purchase 5 patterns from my Ravelry Store at the same time (add them all to your cart before you check out), the least expensive one will be free.

The magic of knitting is that the simplest designs can be the ones that truly take your breath away.

This beginner-friendly bottom-up sweater is a spectacular showcase for a stunning yarn, like Shel Designs Suri Silk DK paired with a lovely Merino Silk Lace. The fluffy Suri Alpaca fiber is wrapped around a strong silk core, making a sweater so snuggly soft you’ll never want to take it off!

Which is just fine, because Houdini goes with pretty much anything, and is perfect for making your everyday wear feel special.
