This lightweight wrap is just right for summer wear - outdoors on a cool evening, indoors anytime in an overly air-conditioned room, anywhere there’s a draft you would like to tame a bit. It is the simplest construction - a big rectangle, big patches of stockinette and reverse stockinette stitches, uncomplicated cast on and bind off, subtle changes of color to keep your knitting life interesting. Because the wrap as I have done it uses only a bit more than half the yarn, it would be easy to make it larger - just keep knitting!

The linen yarn is different to work with than wool - not difficult, just different. The pattern is good for social knitting, because the design and stitches are minimal and will not complicate your conversation and snacking. It is written rather than charted, is a great way to get acquainted with linen yarn, and is completely suitable for a beginning knitter.
