FOR: DOTTY wrap - both wrap and top on one pattern.


Just to be swept away…

DOTTY WRAP: Something to wrap around your shoulders in the moonlight while the echoes of a song linger around your dreams

TOP DOTTY: a loose cover-up tunic using the same dotty pattern-repeat as the Dotty Wrap.

Both designs are fine and light; just lots of dots and dots in all those YOs – an easy rhythm. Both designs are made in two100g hanks of any of our ‘Warm’ 4ply yarns.
