Saadi

This beautiful wrap is knitted with picot edging and a stunning bellflower lace pattern, creating a Jane Austin-era style that will turn any head.

Saadi Shiraz was a Persian poet who wrote: The rose and the thorn, and sorrow and gladness are linked together.

Note: This pattern was originally designed using DK weight yarn. For a thicker, winter wrap, this is still possible. You can also adjust the cast on by 17sts to make the wrap wider or thinner – removing 17 (or a multiple of 17) for a thinner wrap or adding 17 (or a multiple of 17) for a wider wrap.

Using this same method, you can also adjust the yarn weight to suit you
