If you love wraps, knit yourself this big, beautiful, beaded baby that shimmers and catches the light. A variation on the usual triangle creates a wider and shallower wrap, so it covers you generously without cupping your butt. Additional shaping at the shoulder and the back neck give a great Big Girl fit. Two methods of placing beads are used, one while working from the right side and one while working from the wrong side, cleverly enabling lace, shaping, and beads to mesh together seamlessly. Shall we dance? -- description from Big Girl Knits, pg. 143
