PATTERN INFO

'The Wintry Lake' wrap is a modern and striking composition of bold intersecting cables that suggest the fracture lines in the surface of a frozen pond, as well as the crystalline structure of the ice.

The texture and graphic angles of this wrap may look intricate, but they are easy to knit and create a warm accessory perfect for chilly days.

'Wintry Lake' wrap has a rectangular shape with a built-in edge and is worked flat from side to side. The pattern is fully written out with stitch counts as well as a schematic and easy-to-read charts for the cable repeats.
