This top-down, circular yoke sweater is inspired by a window from Notre Dame de Chartres. It begins with a twisted 1×1 rib at the neck, flowing seamlessly into the yoke pattern, which mimics stone tracery and extends through the body and sleeves, evoking gothic arches. As the yoke expands, various window motifs emerge. The fleur-de-lis motif is repeated at the hem and cuffs, both finished with twisted 1×1 ribbing. To keep the vibrant contrast colors discreet, the Ladderback Jacquard method is used for stranding, with supplementary charts provided at the end of the pattern.

This pillow design takes inspiration from the medallion at the center of a traditional rug. The front is crafted in the round using a disappearing loop cast on and features increasing rounds of stranded knitting. The first seven repeats of the pattern are identical, while the eighth and final repeat includes slight modifications to camouflage the round jog, starting with an additional stitch added in Round 7. The back comprises two overlapping semicircles, worked from garter tabs and secured with buttons. Upon completion, the front and back are placed together and finished with an I-cord 3-needle bind-off, resulting in a beautifully cohesive and elegant pillow.
