Dolomiti wrap is a lightweight, rectangular wrap with easy lace pattern and garter stitch panels.

The stitches are provisionally cast on in the middle of the wrap, worked flat in one direction and then on the other direction from the cast-on edge.

Dolomiti wrap uses a gradient set of 3 colours creating an ombre effect.

The pattern is written in English.
