New Pattern: Cactus Blossom

The weather may be cooling where you are, but here in Eastern Africa things are warming up. But no matter what hemisphere you live in I think you’ll like Cactus Blossom.

Knit in laceweight yarn, it is perfect for both layering and wearing on its own. I had the joy of knitting this up in Mary Gavin Yarns Quail, which is a raw silk with excellent drape. If you want to use the same yarn, there are kits available through Sweater Sisters.

The construction on this one is very simple. Knit from the bottom up, the pattern is completely seamless. It also features ribbed detailing along the armholes that match the hem and cowl ribbing.

If you knit Cactus Blossom let me know either by linking your project to the pattern on Ravelry or tagging me on Instagram with #kathrynfolkerthdesigns. I love seeing my patterns out in the world and the way each knitter interprets them.
