Kaleidoscope Wrap

The Kaleidoscope Wrap allows you the freedom to choose the format you like best—three individual modular units can be assembled as either a vee or rectangle. The combination of lace and hand-dyed yarn creates an interesting play of pattern and colour, like a kaleidoscope.

Three square units are knit from the centre out, creating an expanding flare of lace patterning in each unit. Then the pieces are joined with crochet cord ties in a vee or rectangular shape, whichever you prefer. Recommended for Intermediate lace knitters.

Approximately 800 m fingering-weight yarn (our sample worked in a 50% wool, 30% silk, 20% nylon blend; 50 g / 160 m)

Finished size of each unit:
