About the pattern
This wrap gets its name from Blue Brick Yarn’s beautiful “Aurora” colourway. This gorgeous ombré yarn called out for a simple pattern and as a bonus, the vertical lace zigzag reminds me a bit of the wavy movement of the northern lights in the night sky. A simple twisted rib border provides some structure, and optional beaded cast-on and bind-off add a bit of dazzle.

Yarn
The Blue Brick Killarney Sock: fingering, 80% merino, 20% nylon; 500 yards (457 m); 150 g (5.29 oz). Shown in ombré “Grand Turk“ colourways. One 150 g skein yields a wide scarf size (14” x 72” | 36 x 183 cm).

Yardage:
If you can’t find an ombré yarn, choose a lovely variegated, tonal or even solid fingering weight yarn. For a scarf (wide scarf, wrap) use 100 (150, 200) g; 365 (550, 730) yards | 335 (500, 670) m.

Gauge
Approx. 20 sts over 4” (10 cm) in zigzag lace pattern using 4.5 mm needles, after blocking. Gauge is not critical but will affect the finished dimensions.

Final Measurements
Width: 10” (14”, 18”) | 25 (36, 46); Length 72” (183 cm) after blocking.

Difficulty
This pattern is suitable for an intermediate knitter who is familiar with simple lace knitting and beaded cast-on and bind-off (if choosing the beaded option). Instructions are written and charted, and links to helpful video tutorials are provided in the pattern.

Pattern Notes:
This wrap is worked bottom-up in a simple vertical zig-zag lace pattern. The bottom, top and sides of the wrap are edged with a twisted rib for structure and to prevent rolling. Pattern is written with two options: for a plain (no beads) or beaded cast-on and bind-off.
