This reversible shoulder wrap is designed to be simple in its patterning so that it can really show of the beauty of hand-dyed yarn with a soft halo.

Usually, when you have handdyed, variegated and/ or sparkly yarn, you do not want to select a pattern with lots of busy details, which often seem to get lost in variegated yarns and vice versa.

This wrap is constructed from end-to-end with a loop that acts as a clasp to hold the wrap in place. It is joined while working the body of the wrap. The “tail” end of the wrap is shaped asymmetrically for additional interest.

Sample worked in Size S using 2 skeins Red Barn Yarns Llama Sparkle (125g, 273yds); Color: Carribean. Photos show garment worn with both the Stockinette and reverse Stockinette sides facing.
