I know I’m not the only one who has accidentally worn their Tunisian crochet projects with the wrong side facing out!

I often find the back just as lovely as the front, so I wanted to create a wrap that celebrated and encouraged that. You’re going to make 5 small triangles, and seam them together for the wrap.

But the twist? You’re going to flip two of the triangles to have the wrong side facing up. I heard someone suggest once to call it the “A Side” and “B Side,” so here you have the #BSideWrap.
