“THIS DESIGN was inspired by the bubbles contained in a lava lamp!” says Emma Vining. “The two sizes of circle-shaped bubbles are knitted using twisted stitches. Each bubble centre is knitted in stocking stitch and is surrounded by reverse stocking stitch - this creates an impression of a layered pattern with multiple moving bubbles. The bubble pattern emerges from the lower border, and partial bubbles blend into the stocking stitch sides.”
