There are some designs I keep returning to, and Magnolia Bloom is one of them.

The beautiful Magnolia lace pattern stays the same, but changing the yarn or playing with a new colour combination can give the sweater a completely different expression. Magnolia Bloom  is knitted seamlessly from the top down, which also makes it a lovely design to watch take shape on the needles.

I love seeing what happens when a familiar knitting pattern meets new colours. Soft neutrals create one feeling, stronger contrasts another, and sometimes a bold colour is exactly what I want. 

My very red Magnolia Bloom was one of those choices ♥️

For me, that is part of the joy of knitting. The pattern gives you the starting point, but the choice of yarn and colour makes the finished sweater your own. If you are looking for a lace sweater knitting pattern with plenty of possibilities for playing with colour, Magnolia Bloom might be just the thing.

Discover the Magnolia Bloom knitting pattern and explore other designs featuring the Magnolia lace, including Magnolia Bloom Lite, Magnolia Bloom Cardigan and Magnolia Bloom Tunic.

One of my favourite things is seeing how you make Magnolia your own. Different yarns, colours and combinations mean that no two versions need to look quite the same. If you have knitted your own Magnolia Bloom, I would love to see it. Perhaps yours might even become part of one of our Knitting Stories.

For me, sometimes the most inspiring next project is not a completely new pattern 🧶 It is returning to one I already love and imagining it differently. Now the difficult part is deciding which colour to cast on next.

Happy knitting, Camilla
