Punkt
“I have always loved intarsia but was slightly scared it would be too tiresome to knit. By experimenting with combining lace weights, I found that if I used several threads, I could get an easy, yet impressive version of intarsia. I also loved the idea of an elegant semi-transparent surface with squishy dots in various sizes and colors scattered across it. Knitters can play around with colors and the placement of the dots without having to care too much about anything. This is something I always enjoy doing when making up patterns for other knitters: to spark the imagination and supply the knitter with a straightforward method they can use to create their own little work of art.”
Punkt follows a simple garter shawl pattern using MC. Dots of 4 different sizes are marled into the fabric holding 2 threads of CC together with the MC. After the first dot, the positioning of the rest is up to you: knitters should feel free to experiment with colors and placement.
