Soft Current Kit (Urth Yarns)

Soft Current, by Wool & Pine, is a lightweight lace loop with a flowing rhythm and an easy, wearable shape. Simple lace and easy cables move across a long rectangle, knit flat and finished with a small seam at one corner. That tiny join is what gives it structure—turning the piece into a loop that stays in place and takes all the guesswork out of styling. A few skeins of fingering-weight yarn is all it takes to create something soft, beautiful, and easy to throw on and go. Watch this video to see how it fits. Design Details: Soft Current is designed for adventurous beginners ready to move beyond stockinette. The lace and cable motifs are easy to follow, and the pattern includes both written and charted instructions so you can choose what’s most comfortable. A short video tutorial is also included to walk you through the special stitches and offer a few helpful styling tips. The construction is straightforward, the stitch count never changes, and the texture gives just enough interest to keep things feeling fresh. It’s the kind of project you can settle into and finish at your own pace. Construction: Soft Current is knit flat as a simple rectangle. After blocking, a short 2-4 inch seam at the corner creates a soft loop that slips easily over the head and stays in place without fuss. The fabric sits comfortably on the shoulders and layers well with both casual and more dressed-up outfits. >>Choose your favorite color! *We will include the pattern with your kit* Weight: Fingering  Yarn: 16 Fingering 4 skeins Designer: Wool & Pine (Photos by Wool & Pine) Craft: Knitting Specs: Dimensions: Finished Measurements (Blocked) - Depth: 18” / 46 cm, Width: 50” / 127 cm (25” / 63.5 cm folded in half) Easily modified by working more or fewer chart repeats (will affect yardage) Needles: US 5 (3.75 mm) circular needles, 20–40” Notions: Tapestry needle; locking stitch markers Skill level: Adventurous beginner Gauge: We like the drape achieved on US5’s Repeat section of lace chart sts 4-45 = 6.5” (16.5cm) wide 30 rows in pattern = 4” (10cm) deep.
