So easy, even a beginner could knit it and, so lovely, you will be fielding the praise. Much less challenging than its appearance suggests, the key to its beauty is your choice of yarn and needles, nothing more. A wispy, drapey, traingular shaped lightweight wrap for your neck and shoulders. It's the perfect accent to your wardrobe and warm too, when needed. Versatile in every way, this will be both your "go to" accessory and a favorite project to knit and to give as a gift
Materials: Approximately 250 -300 yards or more of a silk/mohair blend yarn. Artyarns Mohair Silk or Rowan Kid Silk Haze
are good choices.
Needles: 24" circulars: 6mm/US 10 or larger depending on the weight of the mohair, desired appearance and to achieve the proper drape.
Optional: stitch markers.
Kfb: Knit into the front and back of stitch (2 stitches made)
Measurements: 55" wide x 27" deep - This is very approximate and the size of your wrap will be be totally dependent on the chosen yarn and needle size. Experiment and swatch to achieve best results. For a larger garment, simply add more yarn and knit to desired size.
