Item# 109

Knit an heirloom lace handkerchief. Kit includes pattern, quality thread for knitting the edging, and an Irish linen hemstitched handkerchief to which to attach your lace edging.

To complete the Lace-edged Handkerchief, you will also need a few yards of waste thread in a contrast color and similar weight to crochet cotton size 30, knitting needles US 00 / 1.75 mm, steel crochet hook size US 6 / 1.75 mm, and size 24 tapestry needle.

Knit a miniature version of the red, white and blue U.S. flag. The lacy stripes and beaded stars symbolize the flag proudly waving in the breeze. Finished size approximately 3" by 5". NOTE: PATTERN NOT INCLUDED. Please purchase downloadable e-Pattern separately.

Supplies Pak includes 3 balls of size 8 DMC pearl cotton, size 11/0 Miyuki Japanese glass seed beads, and collapsing eye twisted wire needle for easy stringing of the beads. Enough materials to make several mini flags.

Note: I have run out of colors as made for the original sample. Your supplies pak will include threads in ecru, imperceptibly different shade of red, and your choice of wedgewood #311 or navy blue #823 (wedgewood is slightly lighter). Beads are pearl ceylon to coordinate with the ecru thread. You can't go wrong with either choice depending on whether you prefer an Early Americana or Country Americana look.

Here is a beautiful small lace piece in the shape of a leaf of the majestic Oak tree. This project is rated as "mindful knitting", i.e. it will take careful attention as there is little repetitiveness to the rows. But otherwise the knitter familiar with basic lace knitting can expect to have a fun knit with this pattern (and probably will not want to stop at making just one). We've seen these oak leaf medallions used in a variety of ways: small doilies, coasters, tasseled bookmarks, fall holiday decorations and appliqué embellishments. For what will you use yours?

Themed companion socks, one with a spider and the other with a web, knitted in lace and beaded stitches.

Let this decorative woven dish towel find its way into your kitchen. Linen is special in a practical way. The naturally anti-bacterial fibers dry quickly, resist mildew and keep germs at bay. Approx 20" x 28".
