Product Details

First Point of Libra is an ancient term used by navigators and astronomers for the equinox that marks the beginning of autumn in the northern hemisphere and the beginning of spring in the southern hemisphere.

A casual garter wrap is the perfect accessory for the warm days and cool nights of late summer and early fall here in the northern hemisphere. This triangular shawl uses a gradient set of 5 plus 550 yards of the same base in a very light color that plays nicely with your gradient. Natural, white, or very light grey are good options for most gradients. (You could also make your MC very dark and work the gradients in reverse order.)

Yardage breakdown (lightest to darkest): 

  • Main color - 550 
  • C1 - 80 
  • C2 - 80 
  • C3 - 85 
  • C4 - 85 
  • C5 - 105

Skills required: 

  • Long-tail cast on 
  • Decreasing 
  • Increasing 
  • Picking up stitches (All but a very few of the picked-up stitches are along a slipped-stitch garter edge which takes away all the guesswork.)

There is also a companion cowl - the First Point of Libra Cowl - that has been specially designed to use up your leftovers :)
