Product Description
This pattern has been designed in collaboration with Priyanka Champaneri, using key elements and aspects from her new book The City of Good Death. This wrap is a representation of the ghats--where this story has been set, the waters lapping gently over the stone steps that lead down into the river. The steps are shown in stockinette bands that decrease progressively in width. At the same time, the waters of the river are worked first in narrow eyelet bands that slowly widen into a full lace border depicting the river.
This is a quick-knit top down triangular wrap with alternating bands of stockinette and eyelet rows till the lace border. The wrap is then bound off with a delicate picot edging. This pattern is written for a one skein wrap but the lace section can be repeated a few more times to give you a larger shawl. The lace patterns are both charted as well as written out.
Yarn: 400y / 365m of light fingering weight yarn.
