This Dragonpine Designs pattern was designed by Cathy Frauts.

The pattern for this shawl-poncho hybrid gives you TWO beautiful options: one in DK weight, and the other in Worsted or Aran weight. Full written instructions are provided for both options, and the math has been done for you to determine number of stitches to cast on to make the same size wrap regardless of what weight of yarn you use. It is also easily adjustable to make it either wider (which gives depth to the finished garment) or longer (which gives width to the finished garment).

The shawl consists of a stocking stitch panel bordered with delicate lace work that adds interest to this beautiful yet functional shawl. It is knit flat and seamed on one shoulder. Dress it up or dress it down with your choice of yarn. Wear your new Wrapped in Luxury shawl indoors or over a coat to dress it up and add extra warmth.

The blue Wrapped in Luxury shawl is knit with one strand each of Katia Air Lux (col. 66) and Sugar Bush Drizzle (col. 8005 aqua) held together throughout, following the DK weight instructions.

This orange Wrapped in Luxury shawl was knit with Rowan Fine Art Aran (now discontinued) using the Worsted weight instructions.
