Worked top down from a garter stitch tab, this lovely wrap drapes beautifully so that you hardly notice the enormous cuddle it’s giving you in wear!
Snuggly and light, I wanted to create a classic wrap with a Highland feel which is nice and easy to knit but sophisticated and dramatic to wear.
Made from 2 x 100gm of the main shade and just over half of a third skein for the border, the yarn blocks to a dream softness and the colour palette allows for considerable variety in moods.
The eyelets are placed to fit effortlessly into the main garter increases and I found a clever way of joining in the border contrast to eliminate excess seaming.
