Inspired by the gentle transition of colours found in nature, this lacy cover-up showcases the beauty of gradient yarn in a flowing open design. Fans, chain spaces, and picots combine to create texture and movement, resulting in a lightweight fabric with exceptional drape. . Worked in a single gradient yarn cake, the gradual colour shift does all the work for you, making this an enjoyable and rewarding project for intermediate crocheters. The little jacket is made of two pieces and seamed up the back and sides, with an optional beaded fringe. Pattern is written in English and uses UK terms.

Meadowlight Cover-up - Pattern Notes

The cover-up is made of two panels that are then joined at the back and side seams.
Each panel is worked flat, turning at the end of every row, and runs from front to back.
I began one panel from the outside of the yarn cake, and one panel from the inside of the yarn cake.
You may like to weigh your gradient yarn cake at the start of the project to keep track of yarn usage.
Instructions in brackets are worked the number of times specified, eg x2.
Chains do not count as a stitch unless specified.
Stitch markers are used to indicate the ch1-spaces in Row 4 that are difficult to see when working Row 5.
