Kits! Kits! Kits
Crystal Palace is offering four new kit styles. Each style has five color way options. Needles are not included. Contact your local or online shop for available kits. (Click here for more information and to see all the color ways.)
Panda Pearl Panda Wrap Kit
(featuring Ann Norling Pattern #73) The power of stripes is strong in Ann Norling's Panda Wrap. This piece is worked in Panda Pearl on 160 sts for 13", then piece is bound off and stitches are picked up on the side and worked in the other direction, with various striping patterns throughout. Scarf options and alternate wrap option are included.
Panda Silk Wings Shawl Kit
Concentric lace semi-circles make up this amazing shawl design, knit in luxurious Panda Silk. The lace pattern is quickly memorized, so you can relax and enjoy the feel of the yarn gliding through your fingers as the pattern emerges.
Mini Mochi L-Train Scarf Kit
The slow tone gradations and the subway tile-look of this scarf inspired its urban name. The mock plaid is created by carrying a slipped stitch of Mini Mochi across the contrasting color of Mini Solid. Alternating bands of garter and Stockinette stitches create subtle texture.
Cotton Twirl Chevron Scarf Kit
This retro-style scarf uses one print with three coordinating solids of Cotton Twirl in chevron stitch. The chevron is formed by basic increases and decreases. |
