The colours, stitch pattern, and shape of this garment are inspired by the 1960’s vintage campers of days gone by.

This wrap contains a long black tie on each side, with a longer main wrap section in the middle. It consists of a series of simple lace patterns that are repeated throughout in different colours, which creates an exciting knit with visual interest while retaining a sense of cohesion.

This is a versatile tie wrap that can be worn a number of different ways—wrapped around the shoulders like a traditional shawl, criss-crossed in the front and tied in the back, like a cross-body wrap, or wrapped around the neck and tied on the side like a cowl.
Take the slow road, knit, and enjoy the scenery!
