Cosette

I was fortunate to knit another Alana-Dakos-pattern for her trunk show.  This time it was the warm, cushy Cosette Wrap.

This wrap has a subtle curved shape worked with the help of short rows.  It is finished off with a lacy picot edging knit in a contrasting colored yarn.  The end result is a cozy wrap  – perfect to keep the chill off your shoulders.

The yarn I used for the body was Dream in Color Classy.  This yarn seems like sturdy, no- nonsense merino when you first knit it.  But once blocked, it transforms into a soft fabric with plenty of fluidity and drape.  The edging was knit with Madelinetosh Eyre, the same yarn I used for my Textured Yoke Cardigan.  One word about this yarn: Swoon!

Deets…
