Yay! I have added a Worsted weight version of this pattern along with the original DK version. It is 2 inches wider and a bit heavier. You will still need 200g of the MC and 100g of a CC. The needle size for the Worsted version is a US8. If you already purchased the pattern, just simply update and you will get the added size.

Rippling waves of speckles and blues. Chevron stripes and a simple lace pattern adorn this buttoned wrap that can be worn multiple ways. Two-color stripes give a nod to musical notes and gentle river currents. Double slipped stitches on the edges make for a smooth slightly rolled edge.

Piece is worked in a flat rectangle beginning with chevron stripes. Then a long relaxing section of simple lace is knit before ending with chevron stripes again and a button hole I-cord bind off. Buttons are placed along one of the long edges.

Needles: US 6 (4mm), 32 inch circulars or size that can accommodate a 15 inch wide piece.

Size: 15 inches wide, 48 inches long

This wrap can be worn in multiple ways… stripes in front or back, like a scarf, like a shrug, or however you want!. The stitch patterns make it very stretchy so that it sits comfortably around the shoulders.

Cozy and snuggly…. I want to wear it all the time!!

Thanks so much!!
