I've created a wrap that combines the comforts of a cozy home with a slightly Ottoman flare in design. A trellis collar worthy of Pemberley or Topkapi encircles the body and cuffs, trimmed with a leafy lace stitch. The back trails vines, welcome as those "visitors from home." Finished Size: To fit 32 (36, 40, 44, 48)" bust circumference, 16 (18½, 20½, 23½, 26)" across back; wrap shown measures 16" across back and 6" across each front piece. The wrap is not intended to meet at center front. Yarn:
