Knit on the bias, textural stripes splash color across this fun-to-knit wrap or scarf. The stitch patterns in Splatter Paint work really well with hand-dyed yarns that have lots of contrasting colors in them. Lightweight but still just the right amount of cozy, this soft and colorful wrap is the perfect accessory and an incredibly interesting knit.
