BOHO SILK WRAP
Ooze carefree style with a totally unique wrap by Sue Pinner.
Designer Sue Pinner says: “This long wrap with it’s decorative triangle edging and graduating circles was inspired by Nettipattam, the ornaments worn by elephants in Kerala’s ceremonies and festivals.” It’s a statement accessory that would be showstopping in any shades.
BASIC CIRCLE PATTERN
Using Yarn A, make a magic loop with 8 wraps of the yarn around your finger.
Round 1 (RS) Ch1 (does not count as st), 12dc into loop, ss to first dc to join. [12 dc]
Round 2 Ch3 (counts as tr), tr in dc at base of ch-3, 2tr in each dc around, ss to top of beg ch-3 to join. [24 tr]
Round 3 Ch3 (counts as tr), tr in st at base of ch-3, tr in next st, (2tr in next st, tr in next st) 11 times, ss to top of beg ch-3 to join. [36 tr]
Round 4 Ch3 (counts as tr), tr in st at base of ch-3, tr in each of next 2 sts, (2tr in next st, tr in each of next 2 sts) 11 times, ss to top of beg ch-3 to join. [48 tr]
Round 5 Ch3 (counts as tr), tr in st at base of ch-3, tr in each of next 3 sts, (2tr in next st, tr in each of next 3 sts) 11 times, ss to top of beg ch-3 to join. [60 tr]
CIRCLE B
Make 6 Circles ending with Round 2.
CIRCLE C
Make 6 Circles ending with Round 3.
CIRCLE D
Make 6 Circles ending with Round 4.
CIRCLE E
Make 3 Circles ending with Round 5.
CIRCLE A !MAKE 2"
Using Yarn A, make a magic Loop with 8 wraps of the yarn around your finger.
Round 1 (RS) Ch1 (does not count as st), 12dc into loop, ss to first dc to join. [12 dc]
Round 2 Ch1 (does not count as st), 2dc in each dc around, ss to first dc to join. [24 dc] Fasten off. Arrange circles in a long line in the following order: A;B; B; B; C; C; C; D; D; D; E; E;E; D; D; D; C; C; C; B; B; B; A. Using a tapestry needle and matching yarn, sew the edges of each circle together, joining 3 sts on the smaller circles and 5 or 6 sts on the larger circles.
