Rayne is an easy, fast-knitting and flattering wrap, sweater, or shawl – however you think of it. Sleeves are picked up and knit down to the wrist in the round for a completely seamless garment. This versatile piece will land a great place in any wardrobe! Perfect for wrapping around yourself on a chilly day, or just a great excuse to snuggle up under a blanket of your favourite yarn.
