The Islington Wrap is a warm wrap in simple garter stitch with short rows to shape it over the shoulders. This easy-to-knit chunky base has a pointed lace collar which sets it off and gives it its unique, vintage style.

The pattern is not yarn specific and is small enough to be a great stashbuster. The base should be knitted in a Super Chunky weight (could be two yarns held together too to achieve gauge) and the lace collar in a 4 ply merino + silk mix. More details are with the pattern in the book.

This wrap is one of the many patterns in Modern Vintage Knitting: Volume 2 which is available worldwide on Amazon.

The pattern for the matching hand warmers, shown in these images, is also available in the same book.
