Big is beautiful! and versatile too. Take advantage of this shawl’s size and wrap yourself up in oh-so-many cozy ways. This project is knit using the simplest lace stitch you will ever knit. It looks exactly the same on both sides making it perfectly suited for a scarf or a shawl like this one. Big Wrap is knit lengthwise beginning with a four-inch wide garter stitch border. The rest of the wrapper is knit in the simple lace pattern. Other details include the lovely rolled edge selvedges and the I-cord cast off, both of which are explained in the pattern. The pictures shows the generous proportions of the larger sized wrap, but instructions include a shorter version too. Madelinetosh Merino Light is a fingering weight one ply yarn. It gives this shawl the desired rustic texture, but have fun picking yarn to make your own version.
