An easy to remember 20 row pattern, this wrap is easily adjustable to any size you wish. I have given yarn amounts for a small/med and large size with measurements to give you a guide.
The small measures about 16x63 and large measures about 22x80” after aggressive blocking to bring out the lace patterns.
I measured for gauge after blocking - 20 row pattern is 3” and 18 stitch pattern is 4 1/2”.
S/M used one skein of Sirdar Colourwheel - about 565 yds, almost the entire skein
L used about 815 yds out of 2 skeins of Mandala or Cakes by Lion Brand.
These yarns all have long colorways and work up nicely without having to change to different colors. The color combinations make this a wrap that will go with everything or make it in a solid color. I think it would be a beautiful wedding shawl.

There are a couple of new techniques I used to create the edges and all the techniques/ sts used are explained in the pattern. The edges have pretty scalloped picots and I sewed beads onto these in the yellow/ gray one (see photo).
I use a cable cast on which is not explained as it is a standard method so be sure you are familiar with this before you start.
