\"\"<\/a>There are a couple of stitches that always seem to make their way into my work. I find that I create multiple projects using them, and still I never tire of working them. My latest design from Manos del Uruguay and Fairmount Fibers, Pechin,<\/a> falls into this category.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This shawl is worked from the center of the neck outward, utilizing a simple chain and single crochet combination. I find that this stitch allows that yarn to really be the feature. It creates a light, airy fabric that embodies the yarn to go as far as it can. By this I mean that you can go a long way with just one skein. As an example, Pechin<\/a> is only a 2 skein shawl (using Manos del Uruguay Milo<\/a>), and a really good sized shawl at that.<\/p>\n

For Pechin<\/a>, I broke up the chain stitch pattern with bands of shells. This creates a visual break as well as a bit of dimension. The bands gradually space further apart in this design to help keep the flow balanced, and I feel it helps give a really classic look.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I have to admit, I could work this shawl over and over again. The stitch pattern has a nice rhythm, and just enough details, at just the right time, to keep it from getting boring. I also feel that it really has a beautiful balance between the design and the yarn, they feel at harmony with one another as neither over powers the other.<\/p>\n

Okay, that might seem a bit wordy or dramatic, but what I mean is that it is a pattern\/design in which you can appreciate both the yarn and the design at the same time. I have spoken in the past about how you select a yarn or pattern to bet let one or the other be a highlight, like not using a variegated yarn in a design that is heavily textured, as the yarn will win over the design (read more here<\/a>). Pechin<\/a> however, has a balance that allows the yarn to shine as well as the design, and this is true even if the yarn is variegated.<\/p>\n
