Cat Eye Lace Wrap
Intricate lacework definitely engages your brain, but sometimes it’s a nice diversion to create lace without the mental gymnastics. Our Cat Eye Lace Wrap knitting pattern in our Cattail Silk yarn is just such an exercise!

Just four simple rows create this pattern, known as the cat’s eye stitch. It does evoke wide-eyed wonder and cat-like grace!

We knit up our wrap in beautiful Cattail Silk (more cats!), our lightweight silk with a raw, natural finish. And news flash… We just added 10 gorgeous new colors to our palette, including this rich and saturated Cerulean Velvet. What a blue!

You’ll just need two skeins of your favorite color… Plus a feline friend in your lap while you cast on for your Cat Eye Lace Wrap in Cattail Silk!

LEARN ABOUT CATTAIL SILK + ALL OUR BEAUTIFUL YARNS
We used Cattail Silk for this pattern because its earthy, natural beauty brings a light drape and offhanded elegance to your knitting. A 100% mulberry silk yarn, Cattail Silk has a rustic spin with bitty nubs and very subtle variations in texture. Choose from a lovely bouquet of colors, and cast on with this fingering-weight yarn for a truly compelling knit!
