Kintail

Inspired by a stunning 1870's counterpane pattern, this nearly-circular wrap beautifully marries tailored elements with a distinctly feminine flair. If you're ready to take on the challenge of the initial cast-on, you'll be richly rewarded with a straightforward decreasing rib pattern. This design not only eliminates stitches but also spares you from the hassle of seaming. The delightful interplay between delicate eyelets and bold angular ribbed decreases adds a dramatic touch to the clean lines of this versatile wrap, making it a perfect addition to any wardrobe.
