This design was created because I had a full bag (10 skeins) of Noro Silk Garden Lite in my stash. I wanted to use as much as possible in a single project and I wanted to showcase the color shifts that Noro yarns are famous for. I knew something complex would get lost in the colors, so I went with a simple stitch pattern, worked on the bias for interest and to add drape.

As it turns out, this is more of a recipe than a pattern, but you can use it to make a wrap, a scarf, a blanket, a placemat, or anything else you can come up with that’s generally square or rectangular in shape. You can use any weight of yarn you like from lace weight to super bulky, and you don’t have to use a slow striping yarn like Noro either. You could work it in a multicolored variegated yarn, a tonal solid, or make your own stripes and do some stash busting at the same time. Have fun, go crazy!

My finished wrap measures 23 inches wide x 76 inches long but the directions make it easy for you to customize the size of your project.
