Breacan Wrap

As the colder months approach, there’s nothing quite like the comfort of coming indoors on a chilly day and wrapping yourself up in a cozy blanket or stylish shawl. Pair that with a warming drink—perhaps a comforting hot cocoa or a splash of whisky—and watch the elements dance outside as the wind blows or the rain and snow tumble down. Inspired by the rich patterns and colors associated with traditional tartan, the Breacan wrap is your ideal companion for staying warm and snug during those frigid days. In Gaelic, "Breacan" (pronounced brech-kan) means tartan or plaid, and it beautifully translates to 'chequered', 'variegated', or 'speckled'.

This stunning wrap is designed using a double-knit technique, ensuring it is fully reversible for added versatility. On one side, you will enjoy the rich colors of the main color (MC) and contrasting color (CC), while the wrong side features a delightful inversion of these colors for a completely different look. This means you can easily switch up your style depending on your mood or outfit! To cater to various tastes, we offer two exciting color options for this pattern: the Three Colour Version, which boasts a solid MC / CC background for a classic look, and the Multi-Colour Version that showcases a stunning gradient for a more vibrant appearance.

The sample shown features the beautiful Multi-Colour version, crafted from Jamieson & Smith 2 Ply Jumper Weight yarn (125 yds / 114 m per 25g), which enhances both the look and feel of the wrap. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or a passionate beginner, this pattern is perfect for anyone looking to add a touch of warmth and style to their winter wardrobe. Create your own unique Breacan wrap today, and experience the ultimate in cozy comfort during the colder months!
