This is an easy going pattern, with a simple repeat. The border is built in as we build up the body of the wrap.

While this has been made in light fingering yarn, it will also look good in slightly heavier weight yarns.

I thought आसान (āsāna) ; meaning “easy” in Hindi , pronounced “aa –saan”, is an apt name for this wrap. This is a pattern that one can ‘take along’ while going on a drive, or while watching the telly, without the pattern sheet after just one repeat.
