MAYFAIR

A soft texture and beautiful shades of blue, that immediately remind us


of the marvelous waves of the sea. Featured by a softly wavy stitch,
Mayfair is a simple and elegant model. We realized it with the wonderful
Imperial, a perfect harmony of silk, cashmere and merino wool,
in bright colors. The quintessence of finesse, it looks like very soft
feathers that delicately touch the skin.

Knitting the back


Using needles n. 4,5 and contrast color yarn cast on 78 stitches and knit
one row (at the end of work this row will be undone). Using Imperial yarn col.
3598 blue doubled, purl 1 row and work 2 rows in Tubular, then continue
in Rib 1x1 for 6 rows.
Then work in Wavy Peacock Stitch with the same number of stitches
and yarn col. 3598 blue, for 16 rows (2 repetitions of the pattern). Then
continue as follows, always working in Wavy Peacock Stitch:

Then work in Wavy Peacock Stitch with the same number of stitches and yarn col. 3598 blue, for 16 rows (2 repetitions
of the pattern), leaving as an edge the first and the last stitch of the row. Then continue as follows, always working in Wavy
Peacock Stitch, and increasing at sides 1 stitch every 16 rows 5 times, and 1
stitch every 8 rows 7 times:
