Ute Nawratil is one of my favorite designers. I love how she thinks "outside the box" and Quiet Flow is no exception.

Get the pattern directly from Ute on her Ravelry page here. Our kit is composed of yarn only -- the same yarns as she used for her original though in different colorways.

The Design
Here is what Ute writes:
’Quiet Flow’ is a rectangular wrap with a simple pattern made of tuck stitches and garter stitches.
As the pattern repeats continuously, knitting quickly creates a meditative calm. This could be too monotonous, therefore I strongly recommend to choose a gradient yarn as background color.
... If you don’t need quite as much meditative calm, you can also omit a pattern set and just make a scarf …
Yarn and Colorways
One of Ute's pieces (the one shown on this page) was knit using 140g of Juniper Moon's Herriot Fine (a delicious 65% alpaca + 25% nylon, with 461 yards/ 100g) as well as 200g of Schoppel Zauberball Stake 6 (75% Wool + 25% nylon and with about 440 yards/ 100g).
This gave her a piece with finished measurements of 82 x 45 cm (roughly 71 1/2" x 18") before washing, afterwards 230 x 48 cm (about 90 1/2" x 19") (dried flat, no blocking).
Our kits include two skeins of each of the yarns as decribed below.
If you would prefer a smaller piece, contact us and we can set you up with a kit composed of one skein of each of these, at least while supplies last.
