Product Details

This design was inspired by a hit song written in 1974 by Joan Baez about her ill-fated relationship with Bob Dylan. The lyrics were prompted by an unexpected phone call that brought back memories of a decade earlier in Greenwich Village, contrasting the best of times – the ‘diamonds’ – with the heartbreak of the end of the relationship – the ‘rust’.

Three mosaic stitch patterns, separated by bands of stockinette stitch, form the pattern. Note that there is a different gauge for stockinette: 28 sts x 40 rows = 4"/10cm.

The wrap can easily be made wider by increasing the number of stockinette rows worked in the lighter color (and there is plenty of that yarn left over).

One full skein of Yummy 2-ply in Chocolate Roses is almost completely used; and 1-1/3 skeins of Estrellita in Flurries are used.
