Meander by Nicki Merrall

Cocoon yourself in this cosy wrap, knitted in a soft and airy alpaca yarn which shows off the cables.

"The design for this wrap came after testing many double cable patterns," says Nicki Merrall. "I was curious about what would happen if the orientation of each pair of cables was random rather than planned. I tried tossing a coin, and whenever I threw 'heads' I worked a C4F, C4B, and 'tails' I worked C4B, C4F. The result is an interesting cable pattern - and of course, there are so many possible combinations of 'heads' and 'tails' that most people knitting this will create a unique wrap."

Look great on and off the slopes in this warm and colorful cap—a great gift for the stylish skier.
