Starry Sea
This rectangular wrap is worked from one long edge to the other and features both Stars and Rippled Waves color-change/slip-stitch patterns worked in two colors. It is a design suitable for a man’s wide scarf or a unisex wrap, and is a relatively easy knit that’s accessible to confident beginners. The piece may be made longer if the knitter so chooses.
