KNITTING PATTERN DETAILS
SIZES
This pattern features a versatile one-size design that is fully customizable to suit your needs. The finished piece boasts an impressive wingspan of 170 cm (67 inches) along the top edge, and a depth of 84 cm (33 inches) at the deepest point, making it perfect for draping or wrapping.
YARN
For this project, we recommend using Ovis Et Cetera Igneae, a luxurious light fingering-weight yarn. This exquisite blend consists of 60% wool, 20% silk, and 20% ramie, ensuring both warmth and a beautiful drape. You will need 850 metres (930 yards) of yarn, with the sample shown in an elegant stone color. Each 100g skein offers 425 metres (465 yards) of yarn, making it an ideal choice for this intricate design.
GAUGE
Your gauge should measure 22 stitches x 32 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inches) when worked flat in the main stitch pattern using the larger needle, and after blocking. Achieving the correct gauge is essential for ensuring your finished piece maintains its intended shape and size.
NEEDLES
To create this beautiful accessory, you will need a 4 mm (US 6) circular needle or a size that allows you to obtain the specified gauge. Choose a circular needle with a cable length of at least 80 cm (32 inches) for added comfort while knitting. Additionally, prepare a 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needle, which should be 1-2 sizes smaller than your main needle for any necessary detailing.
NOTIONS
Gather the essential notions required to complete this project, including blocking tools (optional), a crochet hook (optional, for provisional cast-on), a darning needle, stitch markers, and a tape measure. Each of these tools will aid you in achieving a polished final product.
TECHNIQUES
The primary technique utilized in this knitting pattern is the Provisional Cast-On, which allows for greater versatility in your knitting. This technique is particularly useful for creating shapes that can be seamlessly integrated into your project.
