Homespun yarn is so unique! No two skeins are every really quite alike, and that can be somewhat intimidating. What does one do with something so lovely yet so unconventional? This pattern can adjust to the unique aspects of each homespun yarn skein. The gauge, needle size, and measurements are all fluid. You can even make a scarf or wrap with wider strips and/or multiple braids.

These directions are for a knit version, but you can crochet or even weave the strips that make up this pattern!
