Barkha, meaning rain, is one of 12 designs from InDesCo’s Monsoon Memoirs edition. This wrap has been designed to capture the mood of the season and it represents the grey clouds, with glimpses of sunlight on those gloomy rainy days.
It is a top down crescent shaped wrap with a lot of texture, the curves in the grey section are formed with decreases and increases, the yellow highlights with some short rows, pretty lace depicting the rain and a fun fringe too (optional). (Fringe – video tutorial)
