Mystery pattern

Sunday, February 27, 2011

The more I knit, the more I tend to notice patterns around me. There’ll be a woman’s scarf on the metro, or a pair of mitts, a child’s hat. There is so much inspiration out there, and at the same time so much to learn.
I did not have to look too far though, for the subject of this post. My adorable little niece received this stunning hand-knit dress, as a gift. I would love to be able to replicate this pattern, but I have had no luck identifying the type of stitch. For once, the internet has failed me!
So I am asking all of you knitters out there to help me figure out what this stitch is called.  Someone must know….

  1. Dear Monica,

    I wish I could help you but I don't know the name of that beautiful pattern. It's the first time I see it...

    I understand what you say about noticing knitted patterns around you...it happens with me also.

    Have a nice day!

  3. Erika, I believe you may have lifted the mystery! It does look VERY similar, if not identical. I will give it a try, stay tuned for details! Thank you so much.
