Sunset Infinity Wrap
HeartStrings knitting pattern #H88
Circle your shoulders in a soft glow of color when the air starts to cool at sunset.
Sunset Wrap is shown below knitted with a slow striping yarn. The textured beaded lace pattern stitch is reminiscent of the hues of backlit clouds along the horizon of a beautiful sunset over a glacial lake. The beads give just a hint of light as though the last rays of sun are reflecting off wisps of clouds on the horizon.
This infinity wrap is knit circularly as a large tube with lace eyelets worked on 5 of the 6 pattern rounds. If you have not knit lace where there is lace patterning every row, the Sunset Wrap is a good introduction. And even if you have, you'll enjoy how relaxing and fun this project is.
