This is a unique U-shaped wrap designed to stay put on your shoulders while you’re active at work or at home. The style features a net-like mesh between bands with a diamond motif. The ends of the wrap have a wrapped selvage that provides a strong, clean edge.

Blocking wires are highly recommended to wet-block the finished wrap, in order to open the mesh, to get the best effect and shape. Instructions for wet-blocking are included, with pictures.

April 2022 Rev 3 update includes many improvements coming out of a fantastic collaboration with Test Knitter Cheryl Lawson. Cheryl’s sharp eye for detail was invaluable to me, and her innovative new increase stitch and stitch markers with tails introduced here are tips you’ll want to add to your box of tricks for future projects.

Happy knitting! Please post your pictures!
