Notes

Inspiration for this knit came following the success of The Birthday Shawl and the encouragement and support of my lovely mum. She just isn’t the type to wear a triangular shawl, so I thought I’d design a wrap for her using the lace-edging. The project starts with a provisional cast on, so is worked from the centre out consisting of mainly garter stitch with leaves growing along its main body, in opposite directions from the centre and with a knitted on leafy edging at each end. The result is a large and elegant oblong garter stitch and lace wrap with frilled lace ends.

I am extremely pleased with how this wrap has turned out and it is going to be very difficult to hand it over to my mum after the photoshoot for the pattern!

I was a good daughter and have given my mum the wrap - she keeps texting me every time she wears it! :D
Hoping to release the pattern in May after test knitting :)
