Directions are both written and charted

Knowledge needed: Knitting : K, P, SSK, K2tog, CABLING,
Basic Crochet: Chain, SC, slp st

Overview: The piece is knit as one large rectangle and edged with single crochet in a matching solid color- I used different yarns. There are two strands of knotted cabling that are offset and mirrored. Options are given for a wrap without the crochet edges in a single piece. Maybe add some fringe? Lots of possibilities.

Measurements: aprox. 21” by 48” relaxed/unblocked

Needs: 4 hanks of Malbrigo Rasta** -I used Piedras -about 300 yds needed
1 hank of Mirasol Ushya- I used rosewood-about 65 yds needed

I highly recommend your using the Rasta as the main yarn. It is pricey but absolutely worth every penny. For a single ply super bulky it is incredible- doesn’t shed or pill, and you can rip and reknit many many times without fuzziness. Not to mention the incredible softness. I can’t give enough superlatives to this yarn! It is my absolute super bulky of choice, I haven’t bought any other super bulky since using this.

shawl pin or anywhere buttons to close (anywhere buttons can be put through the fabric at any point, ensuring a proper fit and allowing for more ways to pin, fold, and drape the garment. anywhere buttons are reversible with two different styles/colors on each side) directions given on how to make the anywhere buttons.

A great versatile size. I wear mine with three sets of anywhere buttons to close it as a cowl. You can drape it or pin it over your head for a hooded capelet/scarf, wear it over a coat or on its own. I’ll put up more pix of ways to wear soon.
