Notes From the Designer:
This versatile piece is begging to be your new multi-seasonal accessory! Just like a caterpillar changes to a butterfly, so does this pattern change. The wrap starts out as one color, and then transforms into another as you knit along through the alternating lace sections. Just as butterflies are known for their bold colors, the alternating lace sections are great for bold color blocks, but you can also stick with one color if you prefer. Let this shawl remind you that even if you’re in a dark place, perhaps you’re just in a cocoon and will emerge brighter, more beautiful and stronger than before!

Wear it as a wrap, a stole or a scarf; it’s up to you.

Customize this pattern to your heart’s content to make something you’ll love that’s totally you!

Gauge is not crucial to this project, but will affect yardage and size.

The length and the width of the shawl are both customizable.

Pattern comes with written and charted instructions.
