Notes

18.05.2017

As I am using a laceweight yarn, I am working on 3.5mm/us 4 needles with a working gauge of 24 sts and 46 rows = 4”

I do tend to block quite aggressively - so may even end up with a very similar gauge to the original suggested blocked gauge in fingering, although my fabric is quite a bit lighter and airier.

Colours are used in the following order.

Color 1: Smoke Heather (Grey)
Color 2: Charlotte (Brown)
Color 3: Anna (Blue)
Color 4: Beth ( Plum)
Color 5: Emma (Green)

I am weaving in the ends as I go - bringing the waste tail under and over the working yarn with each stitch worked to catch the tail in to the wrong side of the work.

At the end of clue one the triangle is approximately 22 cm deep when relaxed.

At the end of clue two the triangle is approximately 42 cm deep (measured along centre increase spine) when relaxed.

25.05.2017

At the end of clue three the work is approximately 55 cm deep (measured along centre increase spine) when relaxed.

At the end of clue four the work is approximately 68 cm deep (measured along centre increase spine) when relaxed.

11.06.2017

At the end of clue five the work is approximately 170 cm deep (measured along centre increase spine) when relaxed.

Blocked and photographed !

I am so happy with the finished piece - the lace weight Alpaca Cloud turned out an absolute dream in the end ! The finished wrap is so airy, light and fuzzy - a great summer evening cover up.

Thank you joji for such a wonderful design and KAL.
