Gzhel Wrap

Designed by Alina Appasova

Gzhel is an ornate mosaic wrap, inspired by the beauty of traditional Russian handcraft of making porcelain and pottery items—dishes, tiles, and other decorative elements. Gzhel painting is distinguished by blue and white patterns that often incorporate flowers. Gzhel wrap is worked on the bias in a mosaic pattern, which makes it fun to knit and easy to wear. The pattern has fully written row-by-row instructions and charts. The size of the shawl is easy to adjust both in width (by casting more or fewer stitches) and in length (by working more or fewer main body repeats). The pattern is very versatile and can be worked on a variety of bases, from fingering to DK weight.
