Notes

Finished size (blocked but not stretched): 28” x 85”

Minor modification:
I omitted 2 rows stockinette between motifs, which makes it 16 rows shorter… 1 border repeat. With this change I managed to knit the wrap with 8 skeins, with just a little left over. I don’t think 8 skeins would have been enough for me to finish without this mod.

Minor trauma:
When I was almost finished I noticed a mistake in the first motif that I just could not convince myself to live with. So I attempted a cut/frog/reknit/graft repair. I wouldn’t recommend this for the faint of heart, but it worked out pretty well. With a little blocking I don’t think it will be noticeable.
