Because I am in the process of moving to a new website, the free version of the pattern will be unavailable until I am able to get my new site up and running.

Arien Wrap
Inspired by the moon and its governance of the four seasons, Arien is named after the Maia spirit who guides the moon across the sky in Arda, the world of The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. More of a shlanket than a shawl, Arien is a large rectangular wrap that combines the two colorwork techniques of intarsia and marling. Holding yarns double makes for a warm and cozy fabric, and the intarsia color blocking creates striking visual interest. This heavy shawl is perfect for keeping off the cold of winter and also doubles nicely as a small lap blanket.

Pricing
This pattern will be available for free on my website, and you can find the free pattern on my blog here.

If you would like to have a downloadable PDF because you like that sort of convenience, then you may purchase that from my Ravelry or Payhip store. Because a free version is available for this pattern, I am not offering a pay-what-you-choose option.
