This wrap is the ideal introduction to a technique that might intimidate many knitters: but intarsia is far simpler than you think, promise! Get to grips with the basics of two- colour intarsia before joining in extra bobbins to practice different shapes. This intarsia pattern grew out of preparing a class for the store. Naomi says, “Many of my design ideas come out of similar processes like this: swatches for one purpose can inspire whole new projects.”
