Featuring ruffled cuffs, i-cord bows and an open front, The Romola Twist wrap has all the elements to make for a classic, statement Qing Fibre piece. We have changed the gauge in this version to make for a more slouchy, relaxed fit

The wrap is knitted top down, using raglan increases to shape the upper section and sleeves. While the sleeve stitches rest on a stitch holder, continue working the body. You can either work an i-cord or ribbed edging around the neckline. Tie at the front or wrapp with i-cords to keep it in place.

The sleeve stitches are then picked back up and worked in the round, using increases to create the ballooning effect and a bit of colourwork to decorate the ends of the sleeves. Finally finishing them off with a ruffled edge and i-cord bows.

This pattern has a 3-colour fade and instructions are given for where to change colours.
