With a lace yoke that blossoms as you go, a sweet picot collar, and bobbles like little flower buds, Flower Child brings a touch of vintage charm to your needles. Worked seamlessly in the round from the top down in fingering-weight yarn, it’s the kind of project you ease into and don’t want to put down.
Flower Child is knit seamlessly from the top down with a circular yoke. A delicate picot cast-on at the collar adds a vintage-inspired touch. The lace yoke features leafy eyelets and little bobble buds, worked with both written and charted instructions. After dividing for sleeves, the body is knit in the round in stockinette and finished with 1x1 ribbing and a sewn bind-off. Sleeves are picked up and worked in the round, with matching ribbing.
Top-down construction makes it easy to adjust the length of both the body and sleeves.

Join some of your fellow Fiber Artists in discussing a book that maybe you listen to as you are stitching!
Life is full of twists and turns you never see coming. But what if you did?Flight attendant Allegra Patel loves her job, but today is her twenty-eighth birthday and she’d rather not be placating a plane full of passengers unhappy about a long delay. There’s the well-dressed man in seat 4C desperate not to miss his daughter’s musical. A harried mother frantically tries to keep her toddler and baby quiet. Honeymooners still in their wedding finery dream of their new lives, while a chatty emergency room nurse dreams of retirement.Suddenly a woman traveling alone stands. She walks down the aisle making predictions about how and when passengers will die. Some dismiss her, they don’t believe in psychics. Some are delighted with her prophecies! Their lives will supposedly be long. Others are appalled. Then: a few months later, the first prediction comes true. Intricately plotted, with the wonderful wit Liane Moriarty has become famous for, Here One Moment brilliantly looks at friends, lovers, and family and how we manage to hold onto them in our harried modern lives.
Please read the book BEFORE the discussion.
