Pattern description from Wrap Style: “Wraps come in all shapes and sizes. For this minimal shoulder-skimming wrap, Mari Lynn Patrick has used a soft, super-chunky yarn in a lofty, textured stitch pattern. She begins with a few stitches at the lower center back, then works back and forth to the neck, adding a few more stitches at the end of each row to create ‘wings’ that wrap around to the front. To finish the edges, she picks up stitches around the entire circumference and works a simple ribbing that’s folded over and sewn in place. A vintage-look button adds a splash of pizzazz. Wear the wrap with the button in the center front or off to one side.

Finished Size: 56 (67)“ (142 170 cm) along curved lower edge from front corner, 31 (35.5)” (78.5 90 cm) along curved neck edge from corner to corner and 15 (18.25)“ (38 46.5 cm) long from back neck to lower edge including rib trim.

Yarn:

  • About 410 (656) yd (375 (600) m) of chunky-weight (Bulky #5) yarn.
  • Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Superchunky (55% wool, 33% microfiber, 12% cashmere; 82 yd (75 m)/100 g): #16004 navy, 5 (8) balls.

Needles: Size 11 (8 mm): 32” (80-cm) circular (cir). Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.

Notions: Tapestry needle; one 1 3/8” (3.5 cm) button; small length of contrasting yarn.
