Marya Wrap by Ambah O'Brien | Named after the Latin word for “star of the sea”, Marya Wrap features a slipped-stitch pattern reminiscent of stars reflected in a dark ocean. The simple slipped stitch panels alternate with eyelet sections for a relaxing knit with a cosy end result. Knit on the bias to give a versatile shape, Marya is the perfect project for those special skeins, whether they be speckles, a gradient, or a mini-skein set—pair them with a strong contrast for a high-impact, elegant wrap.
