▲ PATTERN NOTES
Umbra is worked in a striped pattern with Pebble and Silk Cloud held together, alternating with a single strand of Silk Cloud, to create a transparent effect. The triangular wrap has a lace-like edge that is created at the same time the body of the wrap is knitted. Both yarns contain a high silk content and relax after washing. For this reason, your swatch must be washed and blocked to accurately measure gauge.
