Y’Naare was born from a challenge: how to simplify the Echo Knitting technique and make it flow more intuitively.
Working in the round turned out to be the key, transforming a two-color rhythm that can feel chaotic into something almost meditative.
Y’Naare is worked as a big swatch in the round and features an intricate design of mini cables, with a clean border made of vertical lines interrupted by simple diamonds.
Somewhere along the way, this shawl took on a life of its own and became Y’Naare, a curious, determined, and indipendent princess.
The result is a shawl with strong contrast, quiet repetition, and a construction that invites you to enjoy the process from the very first stitch.

Y’Naare is worked bottom-up and in the round, starting from a small cast-on at the bottom tip and growing into a wide triangular shape, increasing two sts every other row.
The shawl is a triangle constructed as a large circular swatch, with the two “sides” connected only by a fringe, a strand of yarn carried between edges, later cut and trimmed.
Y’Naare is fully written and charted: every row documented, every star mapped. No matter how you navigate, the path is clear.
