Imagine yourself on Piazza San Marco in Venice, tasting a glass of Bellini cocktail. The color of this cocktail comes from the peach puree, which is added to the sparkling wine. In this wrap you can see the cupolas of the San Marco Cathedral, and the gondolas slowly moving on the canals.

The knitting starts in the round creating the center square. Then the sides are separated and worked back and forth in flat. Two different lace patterns alternate with the garter stitch stripes. The corners are separated and worked as last.
This rectangular wrap is small enough to be worn around your neck, but also big enough to be wrapped around you.
