This densely cabled rectangular wrap features a cable motif reminiscent of a chain link fence. The edge-to-edge cables are achieved by using an i-cord edging that’s knit as you go. The wrap is offered in one size with notes on how to adjust to your preferences. All charts also have written instructions.
