Eden Rose Wrap

This beautiful lace motif immediately had me envisioning delicate rose petals. Those found on the Eden Rose can range from an almost white pastel pink on the outer edges, to a brilliant pink centre. The powder pink yarn was just perfect for it. Wearing Eden Rose wrap, knit in this sumptuous Alpaca/Silk blend, feels just as soft and luxurious as I’m imagining being immersed in a thousand rose petals would be!

Eden Rose is a quick, fun and captivating knit while you watch it take shape and grow.

This wrap is the first design in The Conservatory Collection series. Similarly to Lilium Regale and Tulipa Hollandia wraps, Eden Rose is knit from tip to tip, alternating between lace and stockinette.

This pattern includes charts, as well as fully written, line by line instructions.
