The Boardwalk wrap and top are fun and wearable patterns with an airy, beachy feel. They use the open structure of the lattice stitch to create a summer weight fabric. The stitch has an open and airy texture with a geometric look unlike any other knit fabric, it resembles fillet crochet and is made from i-cords. This stitch is easy to learn, and once you know it, the possibilities are endless, including colorwork, lace, and border treatments that other stitches just cannot do. In this class we learn the basic lattice stitch and a few variants on the openwork texture, and then cast on a Boardwalk Wrap (or top) using what we’ve learned. Students will leave ready to make modifications to the gauge and size of the wrap, spot and fix mistakes, and to explore their own creative uses for this invaluable technique.
