Just Right Wrap
Pattern description from Lace Style: “Sometimes two yarns are better than one - especially when they’re two weights of the same luscious alpaca - as Mari Lynn Patrick demonstrates in this wear-everywhere wrap jacket. Mari Lynn used a DK-weight yarn for the garter stitch body and sleeves, then knitted a large-scale edging in a lighter weight yarn for the fold-over front edges and collar. The delicate lace provides an interesting contrast to the rustic garter stitch, and is echoed in a small eyelet detail on the cuffs. Garter stitch ties hold the wrap closed at the waist.”
