Ersa is a generous, asymmetrical wrap as written. Initially worked in short rows to achieve the length, it is completed with a dramatic border worked in long rows along the edge. The pattern also offers an option for a symmetrical wrap.

In Greek mythology, Ersa is the goddess of nurturing dew.

Dimensions: (pre-blocking) 11 in. (27.9 cm) wide tapering to 7 in. (17.8 cm) wide and 50 in. (127 cm) along inner curve; (post-blocking) 15 in. (38.1 cm) wide tapering to 10.5 in. (26.7 cm) wide and 60 in. ( 152.4 cm) along inner curve.

The following stitches were used: foundation single crochet; half double crochet; two double crochet cluster; chain; slip stitch; double crochet; double crochet two together; double treble crochet; single crochet.

I began with 136 g of yarn. When I finished, I had 7 g of yarn remaining.
