Whether it’s a wedding, garden party, holiday or a stroll to the pub, a light, but warm cover-up is an essential accessory. This lacy wrap will add glamour to the simplest outfit. But don’t save it for special occasions, it looks worn casually too over jeans and a t-shirt for that boho-chic look. Although light as a feather (great for the luggage allowance!), it is surprisingly warm and is ideal when you want to take off the chill without compromising on style.

Yarn choices
This wrap is knitted in Laxtons UK spun, ultralight and soft kid mohair yarn. It is a lovely yarn with a soft halo. Once knitted, the wrap is stretched (or “blocked”). It is this blocking which brings out the true beauty of the pattern.

Debbie says “When I was sent this yarn I was immediately captivated, not only by its beauty. In its pure white state, or hand-dyed, it looks just stunning”.

As an alternative to the yarn used, any fine laceweight can be used.
