Cappahayden

Cappahayden

Cappahayden is a modular dolman tee showcasing a patchwork interplay of Fair Isle and simple lace. The patchwork squares are worked first and joined. The remaining front and back body lace is worked flat and then stitches are picked up and the dolman sleeves are worked in the round. This cool and cropped summer overlay is so great over a camisole or summer dress.

Cappahayden is pattern #5 of 17 of Landed, Volume 1: The Avalon, Timeless Lace and Stranded Knitting Patterns for the Adventurous Handknitter.
