Elara is knit flat from the top down, shaped with short rows to create gently sloping garter panels that play beautifully alongside lace sections and bobble accents. The final flourish? A delicate picot edge that feels both polished and playful.
The finished wrap is generously sized to enhance its drape and versatility, with dimensions that feel like they belong on the walls of a sunlit artist’s studio—or wrapped lovingly around your shoulders.
Why You’ll Love It:

- Shape & Drape: Short rows give Elara its elegant lines and effortless drape.
- Finishing Touches: A picot edge adds a little whimsy to the final rows.
