Rickroll Wrap
The pattern has been updated to include an additional size, as well as directions for working it with a 4-color Fade (see the 2nd photo).
Like the infamous Rickroll, the construction of this 3-color, easy buttoned wrap is a fun surprise: It’s a pretty-quick knit where you work 2 triangle shawls--and seamlessly get an FO that is not shaped like one.
Worked in fingering weight yarn, this versatile wrap can be buttoned and worn in a variety of ways (don’t worry--I’ve created a video to show you exactly how). Button the 2 angled edges together to wear as a cowl. Drape it over your shoulders and secure with just a single button. Or (my favorite:) button the angled edge to a straight edge and wear as a draped poncho. Think “Lu Lu Lemon Wrap.”
A photo tutorial in the pattern shows you how to place 12 buttons, but you may use as many, or as few, as you like, and I’ve created a video showing you several ways to wear the wrap as well as button placement.
Miss Babs yarn has created special sets of Trios for the projectd as well as some gorgeous quartets for the “Fade” version.
I designed it as a way to show off a highly variegated skein of yarn and 2 coordinating semi-solids, but 3 semi-solids that play well together works beautifully as well. Check out the Trios!

1(1) skein of Miss Babs Yummy 2-Ply (400 yds/skein) in Color 1 (C1, Spiked Punch shown),

// Please note that size medium in this color-fade version is a bit smaller than size medium in the 3-color version. This is done to conserve yarn and ensure that you don’t run out of C2 or C3 for size medium. Note also that even a slight variation of gauge on this project will result in using different amounts of yarn. Please take care to work exactly to the stated gauge to ensure that you don’t run out of C2 or C3 yarn for size medium and need to purchase an additional skein for size medium.
