The easy rectangular shape magically turns into a stylishly warm ponchette. (Or be a rebel and leave it as a gorgeous shawl -- either works, and there's no need to choose ahead of time.) Wear it over your shoulders or slung low on the hips for a fashion statement.
Knit in the Surprising Hemp/Cashmere/Cotton Blend you'll end up with a soft, cozy wrap; choosing the Primary or Vibrant allhemp6 will give a bit of extra warmth. Small/Medium calls for 3 skeins or balls of your chosen yarn, and Medium/Large needs 4 skeins or balls. You'll need 5.0 mm (8 US) needles.
Designed for the advanced beginner -- is that you?
