After only a short (year-long) delay, the Drishdi pattern is now available on the pattern page and through Ravelry.
As promised, Drishdi is a free pattern; it came to me freely, and so I pass it on to you. Knit, and enjoy.
Her sister scarf, Shanti, is also for sale on the pattern page. A simple modulation on the Drishdi design makes a stunning difference in texture. Both scarves are simple to knit, using only knit, yarn over, and knit2tog stitches. They are the inaugural pair of patterns for a new series exploring the essence of lace. called the Namaste Series.
The Namaste patterns will feature highly textured, simple knitting intended to show off the qualities of a beautiful yarn while creating a meditative knitting experience. Whether a raw beginner eager to try lace for the first time or an experienced knitter seeking the soothing rhythm of a basic pattern, I hope you will find something here.
Great concept for a line of patterns! And great patterns, too. 🙂
I like your pattern concept! I tend towards more complex lace, typically, but sometimes I think I need to remember that some yarns just need a little showing off. And sometimes it is nice to have something just ‘relaxing’ on the needles.
