“…and it’s just a box of rain
Or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
And a short time to be there…”

Create your very own boho beauty with this elegant, ethereal wrap. With a unique center-out rectangular construction and a gorgeous, original lace border, Box of Rain is an engaging and fun knit. The generous size and all-around border make the styling options virtually unlimited, and the soft colors compliment any wardrobe and complexion. Wear it as a wrap over your shoulders to a formal event or on a picture-book woodland stroll (or if you’re like me, instantly dress up your jeans and leggings while staying warm and cozy!).

This pattern is worked center-out, starting with a long cast on. The entire shawl is worked in the round.
