Just to be swept away…

Something to wrap around your shoulders in the moonlight, while the echoes of a song linger around your dreams or to keep you warm on chilly days. Fine and lacy – most of the wrap is an interesting pleat effect going into a simple lace border. Knitted in two colours but would look equally interesting and delicious if worked in one colour, or even using different yarn weights for the different sections.

YOU WILL NEED
1 x 100g WARM MOONSHINE (400m/100g, 70% alpaca, 20% silk, 10% cashmere) and 3 x 50g WARM CARNIVAL (170m/50g, 100% alpaca), OR any 250g of our 4ply yarn

4mm needles, 4.5mm needles and sewing-up needle

FINISHED SIZE: length 205cm, width (lace section) 40cm

GAUGE: 20sts to 10cm over stocking st on 4mm needles, although gauge is not critical for this design. If you want your wrap to be the size above, please check gauge. Go up or down a needle size if necessary.
