Lacey Loop x Two
Two great friends of Haus recently popped in wearing variations of the same awesome summer sweater: Lacey Loop! Steph made the tank version using Cumulus and Lisa used Sandnes Garn's Line. We're torn between them because we love both the sleeved version and the tank..and we love both yarns. We just might have to make both to settle this!
The tee version is worked top-down and has a loose fit, and a classic round neck. The tank (also worked top down) has a classic fit and a boat-neck. Both are detailed with alternating stripes of purl stitches and on-trend eyelets, finished with a unique ribbing edge.
You can find Steph's Lacey Loop (tank version) RIGHT HERE. Cumulus (in 20+ shades) is RIGHT HERE. The pattern for Lisa's sleeved tee version is HERE and the Line she used is HERE.
Cell Stitch Poncho in Cairns...Plus Market Square!
The Cairns Cell Stitch Poncho is a Haus favorite and we're drawn to it every year as soon as summer arrives. With the recent arrival of some new colors of an absolutely ideal yarn for it, we're doubly excited!
A perfect layering piece for warmer weather, the Cell Stitch Poncho features an allover knitted eyelet stitch pattern that works up into a swingy, lightweight fabric. Cairns is a colorful, cotton blend tape yarn and is now available in a dozen fun, striped and variegated colors.
Another fun pattern for Cairns is the Market Square bag. This practical market bag is perfect for a quick trip to the grocery or farmers market, and would also make an amazing bag for toting your current knitting project! Pattern includes instructions for two sizes and is knit using two different colors of Cairns.
