The Livia Wrap is now available for individual pattern purchase, or as part of the Celtic Knits Club 2023 collection.

Enrollments for the Celtic Knits Club digital version are open here. This includes all patterns, video workshop (fully captioned) and an exclusive chat forum on KnitHub.

The Livia Wrap - named after the mythical spirit of the River Liffey - features texture, cables and I-cord edges. The wrap is worked in a parallelogram shape, with tapered ends and a straight centre section.
The pattern features parallel waving cable stitches, worked over a seed stitch background, suggesting movement of water, layers of soil and marks on maps. The traditional cable braids, worked over reverse stocking stitch, is a nod to the interconnected nature of water & land - shaping each other, and human activity over time.
