This is a one-skein quick project designed to add a little flair to an outfit. If you need something to wrap around an oversized shirt or add a little bit of bling to a pair of jeans, this is it! By nature, the center garter stitches of this design will stretch, however the outer i-cord edging prevents too much over-stretching. The beauty of a project like this is that you can try it on as you go, stretching it gently, then bind off when it fits. The D-Rings are available at fabric stores, and the beads, if unavailable locally, can be purchased online (source listed in pattern). The sample used 42 beads and measures 35” (89 cm) from the cast on edge to the edge of the D-rings.
