Newsletter subscriber pre order for BCW Glissa Petunia / Fruit Salad

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A PRE ORDER FOR THE NEW PETUNIA COLOURWAY & ORDERS WILL BEGIN SHIPPING 1ST SEPTEMBER

Glissa is the statement scarflette to elevate any outfit. Worked back and forth in rows, it’s knitted in two pieces, each decorated with a beaded colourwork border of orb-shaped motifs. The body is worked in stocking stitch, slip stitches and garter stitch, which combine to give the scarflette its reversible linear texture. Once cast off, the two pieces are joined, allowing the beaded colourwork to flow from the scalloped cast-on edges towards the centre of the piece. There’s a choice of methods for joining: simple mattress stitch or the more decorative crochet slip-stitch, or zipper join. Choose the one that best suits your skill set.
