Construction: The Zephyr Wrap is a light and lovely wrap. Knit with fingering weight yarn on US 6 (4.0 mm) needles, this generously oversized wrap is deliberately knit with a loose gauge to create the perfect transitional weather accessory. I used a combination of mini skeins and part of a grande skein (equal to six 100 gram skeins of fingering weight yarn!) to create a deep, tonal rainbow-ish pattern on one edge of this mossy green wrap. 

Skill level: Advanced beginner - intermediate
