The Knit Guru

This is a pattern I developed for last Mothers’ Day, for all the mums in my life, yet, I never quite got the pattern released. It was always meant to be put together with a video tutorial and a chart.

Finally it is done…. and here is the pattern.

The written chart is here. Hopefully between the video and the chart, you can all make this really easy lace knitting project.
