Design by Gina Wilde for Alchemy Yarns of Transformation.
Designed to showcase our wonderfully popular Wabi-Sabi fiber, the Tea flower bolero provides a sumptuous knitting treat. Created in one piece, the basic shape of the bolero is an exercise in simplicity. Embellishment opportunities abound ­ we show the design here with delicate embroidered flowers, resplendent with French knot centers, meant to evoke the playful stitch patterning on classic straw hats and baskets from the 1950’s.
