Y’Naare was born from a challenge: how to simplify the Echo Knitting technique and make it flow more intuitively. Working in the round turned out to be the key, transforming a two-color rhythm that can feel chaotic into something almost meditative. Y’Naare is worked as a big swatch in the round and features an intricate design of mini cables, with a clean border made of vertical lines interrupted by simple diamonds. Somewhere along the way, this shawl took on a life of its own and became Y’Naare, a curious, determined, and indipendent princess. The result is a shawl with strong contrast, quiet repetition, and a construction that invites you to enjoy the process from the very first stitch. <hr/> Y’Naare is worked bottom-up and in the round, starting from a small cast-on at the bottom tip and growing into a wide triangular shape, increasing two sts every other row. The shawl is a triangle constructed as a large circular swatch, with the two “sides” connected only by a fringe, a strand of yarn carried between edges, later cut and trimmed. Y’Naare is fully written and charted: every row documented, every star mapped. No matter how you navigate, the path is clear. . **Size:** One Size. **Finished measurements:** Wingspan 165 cm / 66”; depth 60 cm/24”, excluding fringe. <big>**Yarn**</big> Bebella Yarn Pura lana basolan (100% Wool; 400 m[437.5 yards]/100 gr). **C1:** col.
