Phecda

Phecda is one of the stars that draw the Big Dipper, discreet yet essential, the one that gives the constellation its balance.

The pattern

About Phecda

Like its star, this design plays on luminous simplicity and just the right touch.

Knitted in Antigone by De Rerum Natura, a lively, luminous linen, Phecda is a sleeveless top designed for sunny days. The yarn reveals its full character row after row: a slightly irregular texture, a natural drape and a freshness that is perfect for summer. With time and washing, the linen softens and grows gentler, making this design a piece you love to wear again and again.

Its construction showcases the fiber without constraining it, letting both yarn and gesture breathe. Phecda is a peaceful, almost meditative knit that invites you to slow down and savor the simple pleasure of making.

Designed as a discreet star of the summer wardrobe, Phecda accompanies bright days with elegance and ease.

De Rerum Natura “Antigone”: 3 to 6 balls, or 630 to 1640 yd ; 580 to 1500 m depending on the size. Gauge: 24 sts and 32 rows = 4 in ; 10 cm in stockinette stitch. US 2½ ; 3 mm needles, and a pair of needles one size smaller for the bands. Shown here in size 4, in colorway Graphite.
