SUMMER SERAPE captures the spirit of the Southwest through color, pattern, and texture. Easy to knit -- it’s just two rectangles joined to leave an neck opening -- and fun to wear, this simple garment will add just that special “something” to any outfit. Change the colors and magic can happen. Enjoy!

Featured is a Bind Off/ Pick Up technique the resembles a Latvian Braid…that adds a special texture. The exposed three-needle joinery at the shoulder edge complements the overall texture of the garment in a functional way.
