The “Diamonds and Crystals Wrap” is a rectangular wrap with I-cord edgings on both ends. It is worked back and forth in one piece.
It’s a perfectly symmetrical wrap, so the length can be adjusted very easily.

It consists of two cable panels along the sides (the “crystals”) and a lace panel in the center (the “diamonds”). Between the panels are easy little cables and two fagotting panels.

It’s a pattern for beginners and very relaxing.

There are some charts in the pattern and of course you can try to design your own wrap, only by combining the charts in a different way. But this possibility is only for your personal use. You are not allowed to sell a modified pattern.

Original Yarn:

Viking of Norway „Nordlys“
4 balls (400 g) in col. 967

Size 3,5 mm circular needle, 80 cm
2 double-pointed needles, size 4,0 mm (for I-cord)

cable needle, stitch markers, row counter, tapestry needle

Gauge is not critical, see if you like it.
But here are some dimensions:

Cable panel in width (28 sts): 10 cm after blocking
Cable panel in height (48 rows): 18 cm after blocking
Lace panel in width (23 sts): 13 cm after blocking
Lace panel in height (48 rows): 18 cm after blocking
(all with size 3,5 mm needle)

Here are some alternative yarns (sometimes “Nordlys” can be very hard to work with):

Schoppel Wolle Zauberball 100 (multicoloured)
Lang Yarns Jawoll Magic Degrade (multicoloured)
Regia 4 Ply Merino Yak (single-coloured)
Cascade Heritage Solids (single-coloured)

Please note that you probably have to adjust the needle size.

Have fun and a good time!
