This cardi-wrap begins with a large infinity motif that forms the sweater back. I used a self-striping yarn to emphasize the multiple directions of rows that make up the motif. The sides are picked up along the edges of the back and are worked in a light and airy openwork pattern that resembles crocheted broomstick lace. For no-sew construction, the collar and sleeves are picked up and worked outward from the body. Wear this wrap hanging open or pinned at the front or make long I-cord ties attached to each side of the front at your natural waist, then wrap the ties around the fronts, loop them through the openwork, around the back, and, finally, tie them in the front.
