Bambara wrap was inspired by a walk in my local bush. The greens of the landscape and dappled light through the leaves.
Bambara is a generously-sized wrap, knit on the bias with simple shaping and alternating sections of lace and garter. The colours and patterns weave together like the layers of a melody, calling to mind the iconic sound of The Cure’s A Forest. It’s the perfect opportunity to play with colour – use a 3-skein gradient with a coordinating contrast colour, mix speckles and solids in 4 different colours for a fun, bold look, or keep it subtle with neutral solids.

Pattern includes fully written instructions accompanied by Lace charts.

Available in French, Italian and English.
