Item# 126

Knit a miniature version of the red, white and blue U.S. flag. The lacy stripes and beaded stars symbolize the flag proudly waving in the breeze. Finished size approximately 3" by 5". Complete kit includes A91 Mini Lace and Beaded Flag pattern, 3 balls of size 8 DMC pearl cotton, size 11/0 Miyuki Japanese glass seed beads, and collapsing eye twisted wire needle for easy stringing of the beads. Enough to make several mini flags.

NEEDLES OPTION: You also have the option to purchase coordinating knitting needles size US 4/0 (1.25 mm) with lapis gemstone heart finials.

Note: I have run out of colors as made for the original sample. Your kit will include threads in ecru, imperceptibly different shade of red, and your choice of wedgewood #311 or navy blue #823 (wedgewood is slightly lighter). Beads are pearl ceylon to coordinate with the ecru thread. You can't go wrong with either choice depending on whether you prefer an Early Americana or Country Americana look.

Gentle Breezes Lace Stole evokes early morning walks on the beach and looking out over gently breaking waves through the morning haze.

This yarn pak includes a 600 yard center-pull ball of Jaggerspun Zephyr wool/silk in your choice of colors. The center-pull ball is cradled in a squishy mesh sleeve that helps keep it tamed while you knit. Afterwards, you can use the mesh sleeve when washing small delicate items or keeping socks sorted.

This yarn is a favorite for lacy scarves and shawls. Also for Luxury Lace Socks as shown. (e-pattern available separately)
