Floating Ribbons features ribbons of fingering weight yarn drifting across a glowing field of mohair. Some ribbons have a lovely woven texture, while others ripple gracefully.

Look more closely, and you’ll see that this wrap is simply two triangles seamlessly joined by a third triangle. It begins with just a few stitches, and the rows never get terribly long. A combination of three easy stitch patterns makes it a pleasure to knit.

The finished piece is lightweight, yet warm and fluffy, equally beautiful as a toasty scarf or a sophisticated wrap.
