Free Pattern: Amager by Leah McGlone

By Meghan Kelly on July 31, 2014October 8, 2020

Do you knit in social situations? If so, when? Whether it’s the pool, a friend’s BBQ, or the occasional outdoor movie, for me, summertime knitting needs to be simple, uncomplicated and easily fixable. (Late night knitting anyone?) 

Compared to the fall and winter months when I surround myself with cables and textured stitches, in the summer I prefer light and airy lace patterns that are easily transportable for a quick weekend getaway.

Meet Amager, my summer knitting companion:

Amager calls for one skein of Meadow in aster, and is the perfect companion for any commuter, beach-goer or social butterfly. Due to Amager’s 2 line pattern, you’ll have it memorized in no time. 

AMAGER

-Leah

    I love this! Would love to make it wider, and a bit longer… maybe even bias? So pretty.

    I am a beginner. I have started this project but notice when I reach the last 4 stiches I could be anywhere in the repeat (see * of pattern). How do I handle this? Am I doing something wrong?
