Evensong Wrap

Evensong is a beautifully versatile and elegant knitting pattern inspired by the luxurious Gatsby era and the enchanting style of the swinging 1920s. This exquisite piece features a soft lacy center that drapes wonderfully, providing a delicate fabric against the skin. The gorgeous shaped borders add just the right amount of weight, allowing the garment to hang perfectly. You can wear Evensong as a long, stylish scarf, a narrow wrap, or even as a chic belt, making it a truly multifunctional accessory for any wardrobe.

This stunning example is made in a lovely golden hue adorned with variegated autumnal shades, but it would look equally gorgeous in elegant tones of cream and ivory, making it an ideal choice for a bride. Additionally, shades of purples and greens would bring a fresh twist to this design, providing the perfect excuse to experiment with coveted hand-dyed yarns for a personalized touch.

**Materials Required:** The materials for this example include: 50g x 2 skeins of Senses Lace by Stylecraft in Ochre (250m/273yds per 50g) and 50g x 2 skeins of Drops Delight in Shade 13 (17.5m/191yds per 50g).

**Method:** This exquisite piece is constructed seamlessly, beginning with a crocheted provisional cast-on. The first half of the lace center piece is worked meticulously, followed by the first border edge. After casting off, the live stitches from the provisional cast-on are transferred onto the needles, allowing for the second half to be worked in exactly the same manner. This innovative method results in a seamless garment with no visible demarcation line, offering a polished finish. The piece is worked from side to side in rows, with a simple turn after every completed row, making it an enjoyable project for knitters of all levels.

Craft your own Evensong piece and embrace the spirit of the 1920s with a knitting project that marries elegance and versatility. Perfect for enhancing your wardrobe or for gifting to a loved one, this pattern is a delightful way to showcase your knitting skills while creating a timeless accessory.
