Versatility describes this wrap that can change from shawl to wrap to sweater with just a little seaming. Because of the seaming options, this one size truly fits most adults. Gauge is important, so we always recommend you swatch!

My models ranged from bust sizes 36” (not photographed yet) to 51”

When trying to figure out a clever name for this fun wrap, a fellow local yarn shop owner suggested looking at names of local landmarks for inspiration. So, I did. And as soon as I saw Blue Bridge in a list of Grand Rapids favorites, I realized the patterning in the center of the wrap was the shape of the Blue Bridge arches – upside down. I feel like this wrap also bridges the gap between a sweater and a wrap. It is truly somewhere in between, and you can wear it year-round! I think it is so lovely in a lightweight, drapey cotton on a larger needle but would love to see it made up in a worsted wool also!

This pattern is free in-store at Threadbender Yarn Shop from May 12-20 if you are participating in the 2023 West Michigan Yarn Quest.
