Hippolyta's Cover-up
For summer breezes near the water’s edge / This graceful garment beckons to be seen / Quick to make and filled with youthful whimsy / A sultry steward of sweet immortal dreams
Sheer, playful, and practical, Hippolyta’s Cover-up is made for long days at the beach or by the pool. Breathable and resilient silk and linen fibers give this whimsical wrap drape and grace. Worked in a rectangle with a simple drop-stitch technique, this wrap will fly off your needles in time for the first day of summer.
