Franklin, North Carolina. Long before European settlers arrived in the mountains around Franklin, North Carolina, the foothills were home to the Cherokee Nation, who called the area “Nikwasi,” the Cherokee word for “star.” You’ll be a “Nikwasi” yourself in this lovely vest from Kristin Murphy of Silver Threads & Golden Needles. The design is inspired by traditional Native American patterns, but knit in a modern natural color palette. Intended to be worn as shown, you can choose to knit a larger size for a less open look. It complements a wide range of body shapes and its long, lean lines will make you look taller and slimmer. It’s mountain magic.

This pattern is only available in the e-book, Deep South Knitting.
