The Design

“For when the sun goes under a cloud.”

In possibly the simplest lace pattern that exists (it’s a one-row repeat!), we’ve reinterpreted this wrap in so many yarns over the years. With the option to seam it into an easy poncho for a breezy, multi-season layer, it’s quick to knit—it’s got more holes than yarn!

We’ve knit this Easy Eyelet Wrap in a combination of Rowan Kidsilk Haze and Softyak DK for a heavy worsted-weight gauge. Paired with the mohair fuzz of lace-weight Kidsilk Haze, Softyak DK’s springy, drapey fabric gains a downy, glowing halo—the cuddly touch we’d like when the sun goes under a cloud.
