Very on-trend, this throw-over shoulder wrap is a must-have for any season. Can be dressed up or down for daytime romps or night-time shenanigans.

BUZZY LACE grows slowly. Lots of garter stitch but also a lace motif in a contrast yarn to keep you interested. A very simple and statement design.

You can either work BUZZY LACE in two colours or for a less razzmatazz version it can be knitted in one colour. Any which way you choose your BUZZY LACE will look stunning.

YOU WILL NEED:
MAIN COLOUR (MC)
1 x 100g WARM MOONSHINE, (400m/100g, 70% alpaca, 20% silk, 10% cashmere)
and
CONTRAST COLOUR (CC)
4 x 45g WARM CARNIVAL, (170m/45g, 100% alpaca)
4.5mm circular needle (60cm, worked forwards and backwards)

GAUGE: 18sts to 10cm over stocking st on 4mm needle, although correct gauge is not essential with this design.

FINISHED SIZE (when washed and dry): width at deepest point 120cm, length 290cm
