From the pattern:

Plaid is a “shrug like” wrap created from a washable woolen plaid blanket that we purchased on line from L. L. Bean®. A crocheted lapel and cuffs in Keltic® finish this roomy wrap. We’ve left a self-fringe of the blanket for a dash of panache at the hem. You can wear it indoors to take the chill off a winter evening or layer it over a sweater for an outdoor option. When you aren’t wearing it, it will look beautiful draped over your sofa.
