Graven Wrap Knitting Pattern

Neo-Gothic architects in the nineteenth century eagerly imitated the massive stone replaces of late-medieval castles and manor houses. Elaborate carvings decorated the chimneypieces and mantel shelves of these structures; the trapezoidal Graven Wrap reproduces this high-relief texture in soft wool.
