DeStijl is named for a Dutch art movement characterized by visual compositions simplified with minimal forms and colors. This cozy wrap is worked using 2 strands of laceweight yarn held together, creating a cushy and drapey fabric. Intarsia rectangles of contrasting colors join and blend by using one strand each of the blending colors. What a great pattern for color exploration!

The whole wrap is worked with yarns held double. It’s easiest and least likely to tangle to work from a ball wound with a double strand. To do this, wind a centerpull ball normally first, then wind it again pulling both the center and outside of the ball together.
