This wrap started out as a shawl. When I was halfway done with it, I added a button and turned it into a buttoned wrap similar to one I had seen in the window of a boutique in Naples, Florida. I am glad I did this for many reasons. It is easy to wear, it looks great with jeans or slacks, and it is quite versatile. The large button is actually just tied on with yarn so I can change buttons when the mood hits adding one, two or even three! It can be worn with buttons removed and pinned with a shawl pin or any pin for that matter. I usually wear it with the buttoned part close to the shoulder but it can be worn so the wrapped part falls right in front. This receives many compliments whenever I wear it.

I used Lion Brand Wool Ease. It is a heather blue with flecks of yellow and green. Worked up nicely.
