Bhakti means devotion. Also the name of a friend, who is very special to me.

This wrap follows a simple asymmetric construction with twisted rib stitches throughout the pattern. 1×1 rib is worked halfway through the wrap and then changes to 2×1 rib along with colour and textural patterns. While there are different stitch patterns used in the 6 sections, they are repetitive in nature throughout the section. Only the placements of the stitches vary so as to form the design shape or element in the pattern.
There are 3 colours used in the sample, feel free to use more or just work it in one colour – as a lovely tester said, “to show off the intricate stitches and changing patterns.
