This simple cable patterned wrap is designed to knit up quickly using soft bulky yarn. It makes an excellent prayer shawl because it is warm and gentle to sensitive skin.

Any bulky yarn will work with this pattern. The size is easily adjusted to your desired width by adding/subtracting stitches between the cable columns. The length is easily adjusted, as well.
