When you just need a little something extra to keep the chill off this beauty is ready. As versatile, lovely, and hard-working as a farm maiden, this garment can be worn in various ways.

Worked widthwise in one piece, with a color change halfway through. The casing is worked on one edge to allow a drawstring style I-cord. A garter stitch selvedge is worked on the opposing side.

I-cord trim is knit directly into each end to add structure.

Charted and written instructions walk you step-by-step to creating a wrap with just the right width (select from 2) and fit.
