Description
Patterns of stable holes travel across the Abbie wrap in two different directions. This asymmetric piece is worked from side to side and begins with just 5 chain stitches. It grows wider with each row worked. Abbie is also striped throughout. It’s a great way to incorporate two of your favorite colors in a wrap. The final product is both lacy and airy and unusual and striking. It is the perfect wrap for the warmer months.

Yarn
I used two colors of the Farmer’s Daughter Fibers Foxy Lady—Castle Rock and Pukuni. The yarn is a superwash merino-silk blend, and it is beautifully dyed. It is a dream to crochet with.

Stitches and Stitch Combinations
Chain; crossed double crochets (explained); double crochet; half double crochet; single crochet; slip stitch; treble crochet

Dimensions
After blocking, the piece is 27” (69 cm) at the widest point and has a 56” (142 cm) wingspan.
