This wrap is intended for chemotherapy patients to wear during treatment. The buttons allow easy access to the port under the collarbone, while the patient is still kept warm by the wrap.

Size is determined by whatever has the largest circumference on the patient: bust/chest, waist, or hips. Small is for 30-32 inch, medium is for 34-36 inch, large is for 38-40 inch, x-large is for 42-44 inch, and 2x-large is for 46-48 inch circumference.

The finished wrap should fall below the knee. The instructions and yarn amounts are for a patient 5 feet 4 inches tall. Adjust length in 13 row (4 inch) increments. Add or subtract about 1 skein (183 yards) per four inches added or subtracted.

Indicated skill level is intermediate.
