This pattern was originally a part of the Indie Untangled Where We Knit Yarn Club 2023, in collaboration with Lisa of Indie Untangled and Karen of Miss La Motte yarns.

“Karen, who is based in Cape Town, South Africa, and Nidhi, in Mumbai, India, are inspired by the vast ocean, and the colorful islands — Maldives, Seychelles and Zanzibar — and cities — Chefchauoen in Morocco, Africa, and Jodhpur in Rajasthan, India — that lie between them.”

This is a one skein top down crescent shaped wrap. The first part of the wrap forms grid lines, with little nupps and lace motifs placed in the tiny squares formed. This is followed by the deep lace border.
