Mezzanotte

Mezzanotte, which means Midnight in Italian, embodies the enchanting beauty of nighttime with a design inspired by the stunning gradient skein from Wandering Wool. This captivating colorway, aptly named "Midnight on the Water," sparked the creation of a dramatic knitting pattern that not only complements the yarn's depth but also offers flexibility to cater to varied stylistic preferences among knitters. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, this design allows your own creativity to shine.

This elegant design is knitted from the top down, giving you the freedom to adjust the ratio of stockinette to lace as you wish. The lace chart included in the pattern can be repeated multiple times, allowing for a personalized touch. To finish, the pattern features a simple yet effective beaded bind-off, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also helps prevent curling. While the use of beads is optional, incorporating approximately 300 size 6/0 seed beads can add a delightful sparkle, enhancing the overall drama of your project.

It’s important to note that this pattern is crafted with a special 150g gradient skein, which differs from the standard 100g put-up of North Country Sock yarn. For those who are eager to create this stunning piece, kits are readily available for purchase from Wanderingwool.com. Dive into the world of knitting with Mezzanotte and let your creativity flow!
