Torquata

Introducing the Torquata knitting pattern, inspired by the stunning Eucalyptus Torquate, also known as the Coral Gum. This Australian species is celebrated for its breathtaking flowers that bloom in vibrant coral pink shades, a color theme beautifully echoed in the exquisite gradient set from Miss Babs yarn. Whether you choose to use this gradient set or mix and match various mini skeins, this project promises to be a delightful adventure in both the planning stages and during the knitting process. It’s a fantastic way to utilize those partial skeins hiding in your stash, making it an eco-friendly choice as well.

The Torquata wrap is knit on the bias, resulting in an elegantly asymmetrical design that’s not only visually striking but incredibly versatile. Wear it in multiple ways to complement any outfit, adding a unique touch to your wardrobe. The pattern features simple lace elements, making it an ideal first lace project for beginners looking to expand their skills. Additionally, seasoned knitters will find this project to be a relaxing and enjoyable knit, perfect for unwinding after a long day.

This pattern is crafted for fingering weight / 4-ply yarn. You will need 400 yards (366 meters) of a Main Colour (MC) and a Contrasting Colour (CC) from a gradient set consisting of six mini skeins, each providing 133 yards (121 meters). For the sample shown, we recommend using the MC: Miss Babs Yummy 2-ply (made from 100% Superwash Merino with 400 yards/366 meters per 117g) in the beautiful Oyster shade. For the CC, opt for the Miss Babs Yummy 2-ply Toes Gradient set, which features six skeins in the Torquata Gradient set, also made from 100% Superwash Merino.

Whether you're new to knitting or a seasoned expert, the Torquata wrap is a perfect addition to your collection of knitting patterns. Start your journey today and create a stunning accessory that showcases your creativity and love for knitting!
