Umaro combines a little bit of everything - cables, lace, and knit-purl patterns - to create a veritable symphony of texture. The throw is made using super-bulky yarn, which helps amp up the stitch architecture nicely. You can also read the full description or view all Brooklyn Tweed Patterns.
I love, love, love Jared Flood's patterns and this one is no exception!! It used heavy weight yarn so works up quickly and that instructions are super clear!
Haven't made this wrap yet but it's on my list. I recommend that anyone that likes the look of this wrap, should visit the Brooklyn Tweed site to see all of their wonderful patterns. A few years ago our guild hosted Jared for a weekend of the workshops he teaches and he was very informative and even our advanced knitters learned new techniques. Knowing JB, they probably have all the Brooklyn Tweed patterns.
The pattern knits up small -- so anticipate going up in size to properly fit down over the tops of your ears. That's the only reason this gets less than 5 starts. BT designs are gorgeous, as always.
Good pattern, easy to follow. Pretty quick to make. Even though it's made with worsted weight, the blocking technique at the end makes it light with great stitch definition.
