This simple yet striking wrap is designed to be a fast and fun knit. It’s made from worsted weight so the stitching goes very quickly and you end up with a super squishy shawl. The main fabric is simple garter stitch, with stripes throughout and a section of short row shaping at each end for a bit of flair making it super fun to style in a variety of ways, more so than a plain rectangular wrap. And the stripes are designed in such a way that there’s only ends to weave in at the very beginning and end of your work!
