I designed this with the thought of using Lion Brand Mandala bonus bundle because of the larger skeins and the long color changes.

You may make it wider by just casting on an additional 49 stitches per repeat. Each repeat is approximately 7 inches/18 centimeters long and approximately 6.5 inches/16.5 centimeters wide.

Therefore, if you want to make an afghan instead of a wrap, it would be fairly easy to figure out. (I hope!)

I used a DK weight yarn and size 5(US)/3.75 needle. If you want to use a worsted weight yarn, just use a needle that gives you the fabric you want. Your choice!

While I used the Lion Brand Mandala, feel free to use whatever yarn catches your eye! I would love to see this in many colors!

All cables are simple 2/1 or 2/2 cables. Not everyone will need to use a cable needle.

Thank you for choosing my pattern!

And many thanks to all the test knitters who made this a better pattern. :smile:
