he Central Wrap is a rectangular shawl with an allover garter-stitch diamond pattern, worked back and forth in rows on the bias. With its classic look, it’s the perfect piece to wrap up in when you need an extra layer of warmth no matter what occasion.

The wrap is worked flat in rows on the bias, from one corner at a short side diagonally to one corner at the opposite short side. The natural bias of the wrap makes it a parallelogram, but it can be blocked rectangular easily.
