Delicate and airy, Eterea wrap floats into your heart from the very first stitch. The wavy, all-over cable pattern is deceptively easy to knit—an excellent project for a knitter who wants to perfect two basic cables or relax with an engaging project.

Eterea is a rectangular wrap, worked from one short edge, beginning and ending with 2 x 1 rib. No special selvedge stitches are worked—the cable stitches create the gorgeous scalloped edges.

Written and charted instructions are provided.
