ABOUT DESIGN AND PATTERN
Rita Hayworth is a dramatic and unusual wrap. The body is worked in one piece from the left center front to the end of the long tapered right front that wraps around the shoulders for a very striking effect. The set-in sleeves are worked separately. The entire wrap is worked in garter stitch. Minimal finishing is required. The easy to follow pattern includes:
• Schematic for each piece
• A helpful tracking sheet
• Diagrams and full explanations for techniques
• A link for substitute yarn
• A pattern helpline
