Full of stunning texture and detail, Lyza is a modern wrap perfect for showing off pops of gorgeous hand-dyed yarn.

Starting with an invisible cast on, Lyza is worked in the round from the centre outwards.

Subtle, textured stripes add elegant detailing to the body of the wrap and give it a stylish twist.

The chevron border is created with slip stitches so you only work one colour of yarn at a time and the edge is finished with a neat i-cord.

Lyza is a pattern perfectly suited to experienced knitters and those eager for a challenge.

The pattern includes both written and charted instructions.
