Howlite
Join in the Howlite Knitalong here.
Howlite’s prototype began as a commisioned piece for
my friend, Marlene. She had wanted me to adapt an
Oscar de la Renta design for her in grey cashmere. After
a few headaches, I managed to get a mix of cables and
seed stitch together that worked. Three years later, I
am happy to release a new version of that design with
lacy knit cuffs and collar. Worked as flat pieces that are
seamed together.
