Beat the winter chill and wrap yourself up in this super cozy wrap knitted in a luxurious textured boucle yarn for the ultimate in squooshy comfort.

The cabled edge gives a soft look which matches the squishy texture, while the bold cables give even more dimension and enhance the loftiness of the yarn. Calesco is the Latin word for warm, and the fiery colors used add a pop of brightness to even the dullest cold day.

The wrap is worked from one end to the other, each end has written instructions but the central section is charted only.

The sample was knit in White Gum Wool 12ply Boucle Superfine Merino using 2 skeins each of Flame, Hawthorn and Quarrystone. Note that nearly the full 2 skeins of Hawthorn were used (the central colour) so if your gauge is different you might need to change your start and end points for this colour.
