Pattern Note: This enchanting knitting project is crafted by holding two strands of each lace weight yarn together, creating a beautifully textured and lightweight fabric that enhances the overall design.

Skill Level: Beginner

Skills Needed: This pattern is perfect for beginners and requires only basic knitting skills: the ability to knit, purl, and perform color changes. You'll easily master these techniques as you create your stunning piece.

Finished Measurements: Once completed, your project will have a center depth of 22 ½" / 57 cm and an impressive windspun measurement of 85 ¾" / 218 cm, making it a versatile addition to your knitting collection.

Materials: For this project, you will need the following yarn:

• C1: Hedgehog Fibres Merino Lace - a luxurious lace weight yarn (100 g / 1312 yards / 1200 meters) made from 100% merino wool in the colorway Plump.
• C2: Hedgehog Fibres Alpaca Bouclé - another exquisite lace weight yarn (100 g / 678 yards / 620 meters) composed of 66% alpaca and 34% silk in the colorway A Day In May.

For reference, the sample used approximately:
