A simple design, easily memorized, created to seamlessly blend together 3 colors of a lovely yarn, with a soft drape. With an elongated shape, wear your wrap like you would a scarf, but with long, dramatic points.

Designed using Louisa Harding’s Willow Tweed, this wrap is easily adaptable to any yarn which is DK- weight or lighter. Easy enough to be a first multi- color project, perfect to knit by the pool or in front of the television, and small enough to be easily taken along during vacations, car trips, or long meetings.

This wrap was designed to use nearly every yard of each of the 3 colors of yarn (each skein has 128 yards); if you do not check gauge, and knit more tightly, you may wish to add extra rows, while if you knit more loosely, you may have to be creative when finishing your wrap.

That said, especially if using leftover yarns, or odd skeins, the pattern is simple to adapt to differing yarn amounts, or additional colors. Have fun, and make it your own!
