Twirlstar

Twirlstar is a lacy, layered, child's skirt with the pattern available in sizes 2T-4T. It is knit in the round using circular needles. No seaming is required although each skirt is knitted separately. Both skirts are attached at the waist with an elastic casing and the use of a provisional cast on. Bind off for both skirts is traditional. A good working knowledge of increase and decrease lace stitches is recommended. The pattern is a PDF download and can be purchased on Ravelry.com or Patternfish.com.

Sunstar

This pattern is available for $6.00. Sunstar is a reminder of celebrations. Beginning with a multitude of yarnover explosions, it is combined with the ladybird stitch pattern, creating a project that can be worn as a shawl, grace a party table or as a decorative blanket or throw. The featured project has been produced using size 8 needles in a lace weight yarn but any needle size and yarn weight can be used. Written with detailed instructions, the pattern can be completed with experience in lace increases and decreases; includes yarnovers, one, two and three stitch decreases and increases. Every effort to provide the user with an error free pattern has been made. The finished edge is done with a three stitch, crocheted bind off, however any form of bind off can be utilized. The project blocks with ease and should radiate perfectly in any yarn.
