Nakarra Wrap

Discover the enchanting world of Nakarra, a stunning bias knit Wrap/Scarf inspired by the rich Australian Aboriginal Dreamtime legend of the Seven Sisters, which beautifully explains the origins of the Pleiades constellation. This captivating piece not only pays homage to that timeless tale but also showcases the lovely Seven Sisters Arts yarn used in our sample. Nakarra features a rhythmic chevron motif crafted through the artful technique of mosaic stitch, offering a visual feast for knitters and wearers alike. By working with a single colour per row, mosaic knitting transforms into a delightful adventure in colourwork, leading to dramatic and eye-catching results.

Nakarra is versatile enough to shine when knitted with gradient yarn, as illustrated in our sample, or you can experiment with two contrasting colours for a striking effect. Ideal for knitters of various skill levels, this pattern invites creativity and exploration in your crafting journey.
