Notes

Such an elegant wrap! I got perfect gauge holding two lace weights (mohair with Silkpaca). The mohair makes this a very warm top even with the lace sleeves. The mohair will make the sleeves harder to balloon out so if you go with this combo, I recommend knitting slightly looser or maybe with a needle size up. Note that I did neither of those things so my sleeves are not very ballooned.

I knit size 3 (38”) for 1” positive ease and I really like the fit. I recommend steaming and trying on as you go so you get to a body length and sleeve length that you like. The waist band is a very clever design, I like tying it at the back.

The mohair I used is the Mother of Purl color way from the Wandering Flock and it’s sparklesmagicalsparkles it makes any piece look like it’s glowing with irredescence. The pictures hardly do it justice. I’m so in love with my Scotchbroom Wrap heart
