As autumn approaches and temps begin to cool down, you’ll find the Open Road wrap to be the perfect accessory! With a classic rectangular design, it’s sure to become a favorite go-to with the change of seasons. Worn on its own when there’s a hint of chill in the air, be sure to also keep the Open Road at hand as a companion to your winter coat. We’re loving this pattern knit end-to-end in Beau DK for a warm and cozy, yet lightweight fabric, but any DK base will be a great choice.

The delicate feather and fan design repeats top and bottom and is united with a simple eyelet stitch for the middle section. With something for everyone, this timeless pattern is sure to appeal to adventurous beginners and seasoned knitters alike.
