Libra is balance. A balance weights and measures, and according to many sources Libra natives love this measured and balanced approach in their daily lives. They also seek equality and harmony.

The Libra Stole is knit from the centre out. Both halves use different diamond shaped stitch patterns, but the consistent border pattern balances the design out. Also, the color balances, as the transitions of the gradient colorway take place in both directions from the middle outwards.

Finished Size (gently blocked): ~23.5” (60 cm) x 70” (180 cm)
