“Armadillo” can be worn as a scarf or wrap and got its name from the fact that the stitch combination reminds me of the “armor” of an armadillo somewhat.

The garment starts and ends like a regular sideways triangle shawl, but a short row section in the middle at its widest point causes the piece to curve around the neck in a very natural way.

The colourways used in the sample are col 6 Blush for the Clara and colour #L9111 for the lace.

Pattern Stitch for Gauge: K 2 rows Clara, K 1 row Lace, P 1 row Lace

Looking at the colour cards for these 2 yarns, I can also recommend combos:

Clara #14 and Lace #L9622
Clara #13 and Lace #L7258
Clara #09 and Lace #L6852
Clara #01 and Lace #L8597

Hope to see some of these combos out there soon!
