Alchemy is where texture meets drape.

Seed stitch and open star stitch alternate, giving you just enough variation to keep things interesting. The rhythm is soothing. The repeats are easy to memorize. Your hands find their flow almost instantly.

Knitted with two colors of DK-weight yarn, Alchemy invites you to play. Go bold or keep it subtle, whatever suits your mood.

You work this asymmetric triangle on the bias, casting on at one tip and increasing steadily as you knit toward the opposite long edge. The colorwork may look intricate, but you use only one color at a time, so the knitting feels effortless.

Solid seed stitch sections frame the open star stitch in contrasting colors, creating depth and dimension. The result is a cozy, wearable wrap that feels like a warm exhale at the end of a long day.
