Lovee
I hope you love this warm bulky wrap as much as I do!
It is my go to on tough days, my version of a socially acceptable adult comfort blanket. Almost all of us had that blanket, stuffed animal, sweater, or pillow that comforted us when we were little. No matter what was going on it would calm us and give us strength. If you ask my Mom she will happily tell you I had pillows and would chew through the corners with my nervous energy. On days I know I will need a little extra comfort or warmth I grab my Lovee and go.
Lovee is designed to use as much as possible of each skein, so if your gauge is off you may need additional yarn. Lovee is easy to modify! Use 1 color (or many!) and repeat the double seed rounds 2-5 below until your desired width. If you want yours shorter or longer, add or subtract stitches in increments of 2.
