Juno is the mother goddess of Roman mythology, and Juno Regina is Juno as queen of the Gods.

Let the luxurious silk and wool of this wrap make you feel like a queen.
The idea for this piece began with the stitch pattern. I was inspired by the echoing diamond shapes within each
motif and I love how they flow together when combined into an even larger diamond as they shape the ends of
the piece itself.
The pointed ends of this piece are organic and simple to work, while still creating an interesting line in the
finished product.
This piece can be worn as a stole or as a scarf, but it's sure to make an impression either way.

PATTERN NOTES
[Knitty's list of standard abbreviations and techniques can be found here]
The charts are not symmetrical. If you desire a symmetrical wrap with matching ends, then you can work
charts 1, 2, 3 & 4, then repeat repeat Rows 11-12 of Chart 4 until half the desired length is reached. Then
work another piece in the same way, and graft the two pieces together in the middle, or join them using a
Three-Needle Bind Off.
