I designed this large wrap as I wanted something that I could cozy up with – it’s like a blanket you can wear! It is aimed at confident beginners and for people that want a relaxing, repetitive project that keeps your attention because of the colour changes and the cool way the bobble pom poms match the colour of the stripes.

Any yarn can be used for this pattern but I really love the colour changes achieved by the yarns suggested. 400g of chunky makes a large cozy wrap.
This is a very quick and easy pattern, it is good for a relaxing chill out project as the pattern is very simple and once you have done a few rows you just repeat until it’s the size you want.

The pom pom edging is worked as you go along so it is a great pattern for using colour change yarn, as the pompoms will match the colour of your stripes. Unlike tassels or sewn on pom-poms, you don’t need to worry about them coming off.
