This pattern was originally published as Close Knit’s contribution to the 2025 Rose City Yarn Crawl, March 6-9, 2025 in Portland, Oregon. This pattern is also available for download as part of the 2025 Pattern Collection: Our Sky Full of Stars

Inspired by the 2025 Rose City Yarn Crawl theme, Our Sky Full of Stars, this reversible eyelet pattern features lace work that has the appearance of stars in the night sky. The luscious hand-dyed Dream in Color Lamb & Goat fingering yarn combined with the Dream in Color Billy Kid Silk mohair yarn creates a wonderfully soft and drapey infinity loop that can be worn single or double. The knit-in-the-round seamless construction creates a quick-to-knit neck-warming accessory.
