The pattern

About Mélampyre

Its simple, repetitive motif is easy to memorize, allowing for a smooth and calming knitting flow, perfect for quiet evenings. The shape wraps just enough to warm the neck or softly highlight a neckline with a delicate touch.

Mélampyre is a modest yet luminous piece, celebrating the beauty of simple things — like those forgotten plants whose names softly murmur between the pages of an old herbarium.

La Bien Aimée “Alix” and “Soyeux” held together: 1 skein of each yarn, or approximately 437 yd ; 400 m of each yarn. Gauge: 22 sts and 32 rows = 4 in ; 10 cm in pattern, washed and blocked. US 6 ; 4 mm needles.
