Samurtasuna is Basque for ‘tenderness’. When first seeing the Kid Mohair used for this pattern, I knew straight it had to be wrapped and it had to be a design as soft as the yarn itself. The open lace flowers of this pattern make sure that the yarn drapes well and shows off the lush halo aspect of the mohair. An (optional) ultra-thin thread of white merino is added to every other pattern repeat to make the pattern stand out and give an illusion of length through subtle coloured stripes.

Gauge:
A pattern repeat of 14 sts and 8 rows measures 12.5cm/5” wide by 10 cm/4” high after blocking.

Yarn:
A #4 Worsted weight Kid Mohair yarn, 1100 meters/1200 yards. It is optional to add a second strand of #0 lace or #1 super fine yarn to double every other pattern repeat, obtaining subtle vertical lines (550 meters/600 yards). The yarn used in the example was Phildar Kid Mohair (pink) and Colourmart extra fine merino lace weight (white).

Kid Mohair is classified as a light worsted weight yarn, you can easily substitute this yarn with a fingering or dk weight yarn. A lightweight yarn works very well with the openness of the pattern and a light and soft yarn assures a supple and lightweight wrap. I suggest some yarns with this pattern but you will find many more options by checking out the beautiful projects of my testers.
