Fly Over
“Fly Over” was created to celebrate the 5th Anniversary of Knit City in Vancouver, BC. “Fly Over” is knit from the bottom up and the pattern offers four different choices:
1) Knit one triangle using fingering yarn for a small triangular shawlette
2) Knit one triangle using worsted yarn (sample shown here with 3 skeins of Julie Asselin Leizu Worsted, colorway Ancient Gold)
3) Knit the triangle twice using fingering yarn for a trapeze stole (grafted at the top)
4) Knit the triangle twice using fingering yarn for a poncho (grafted at each end at the top leaving a hole in the middle, sample shown here with 2 skeins of Julie Asselin Fino, colorway Anniversary)
Inspired by the beautiful West Coast scenery, you will travel through fields, water’s edge and into the forest to finally reach the mountains.
