The Simpatico Wrap is a large square-sized piece of fabric that, when folded in half, forms a triangle and gracefully wraps around your neck and shoulders. Due to the way it is knit, when folded in half, each side facing up is the right-side of the fabric. Other ways to wear it include: place the triangle in front or twist it and wrap it around your neck to be cozy warm.

This very simple pattern is the perfect way to play with color and texture. It calls for two different A Verb for Keeping Warm yarns:

Floating: made of alpaca, silk, and cashmere, this yarn is so soft that when knitting, it feels as if the stitches are floating through your fingers.

and

Even Tinier Annapurna: made of merino and cashmere. It’s smoother texture lends nicely to the halo created by Floating.

Our newest version for Fall 2021 is knit with Floating in Lakeside and Even Tinier Annapurna in Indigo Blue Sky.
