Stitches include double crochet, single crochet, and chain stitches to create filet lace. Notes from the Designer: The seven colors of the rainbow are also associated with the seven chakras that are used in a variety of ancient meditation practices. Chakras are considered to be centers of energy in your spirit, and some yoga techniques are designed to benefit chakras through movement, breath, and meditation. This rectangular wrap blends the colors from the root to the crown with simple stitches and a central column of filet lace. It is also large enough to cover a standard yoga mat if you wish to incorporate these colors into your own meditations. * Click [here][6] to watch a video, which demonstrates how to crochet the center lace panel. * Sample shown used approximately 1,452 m / 1,590 yds total: Color A - 201 m / 220 yds, Color B - 210 m / 230 yds, Color C - 210 m / 230 yds, Color D - 210 m / 230 yds, Color E - 210 m / 230 yds, Color F - 210 m / 230 yds, and Color G - 201 m / 220 yds. * Colors were used in this order: A) Root Chakra (red), B) Sacral Chakra (orange), C) Solar Plexus Chakra (yellow), D) Heart Chakra (green), E) Throat Chakra (light blue), F) Third Eye Chakra (dark blue), and G) Crown Chakra (purple). * Change colors by working the last step of the last stitch of the last row with the new color. * Carry unused color up side of work during color transitions. * Gauge is not crucial to this project, but will affect yardage and size. * This wrap is reversible. * Pattern uses seven colors, but can be made with fewer or more if preferred. * The written instructions are augmented by a chart of the central stitches that form the lace panel. *Designed by Janica York Carter* You'll receive a digital file only (instantly downloadable as a PDF) and won't be shipped anything.
