I put this pattern in the intermediate category simply because it is a bit more complicated to follow than most of my patterns. It is not difficult it just takes a bit more time and effort. The yarn is a 3 so it is also a little harder to work with but the result is an amazing, lightweight wrap that is sure to get you many compliments. It is perfect for parties because it is lightweight and you will not get overheated! I made this in holiday colors but you can use two or more colors of your choice to make it work in any season!
