Quechua
While on my honeymoon in Peru, I purchased a beautiful hand made woven table runner, which I, of course, wear as a wrap. The more I wore this beautiful piece, the more my lust for a knitted version grew. Thus came the Quechua, knit in squishy garter stitch in my family’s alpaca yarn, accented with bands of mosaic knitting from Barbara Walker’s mosaic stitch dictionary, and finished with tassels, you’re going to love wrapping up in this phenomenal shawl!
You can purchase a kit of the Quaint Acres Alpaca yarn here, and we’ll throw in the pattern for free: https://frostburgfiberdepot.rainadmin.com/shop/Yarn/Kits/...
