new shop sample - Love Note!

New shop sample in Love Note - knitted in Rowan Alpaca Classic.

Love Note, by Tin Can Knits, is knitted in the round from the top down.  The original pattern uses two strands of yarn held together - a 4ply and a laceweight.  Our version uses one strand of Alpaca Classic.

The pattern gives two lengths - both quite cropped!  But it's easy to add more length.  Because it is knitted top down you can try it on whilst you're making it - to get the length you want.

The neckline is also finished at the end... so if you'd rather it was lower and looser you can do that too.

The pattern is available on Ravelry and you can buy it in the shop through Ravelry in-store sales.

You can see other versions of Love Note here.https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/love-note/people
