Did someone say hygge?! Oversized rectangular wraps are a popular trend in knitting right now, and with good reason as they are so practical for cooler weather.

This striking 3-colour contemporary wrap will keep you cosy on the coldest winter days. The way it drapes around the shoulders is so flattering. The wrap also works well with different weights of yarn, and at different gauges. How about a lighter fingering weight version for spring?

Construction
This wrap is a simple knit suitable for beginners and uses a modular, or ‘join as you go’ technique to create a graphic design with maximum wow factor. The wrap is worked in four blocks and finished with simple seams.
