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."

Everyone needs a shrug for those cool evenings after warm autumn days. Fairy-Slipper Shrug is a design from Kristen Hanley Cardozo worked in Willow Yarns’ Blossom, a worsted-weight Merino wool and silk blend. The wide Garter-stitch band, that turns into a collar, sets off the allover lacework body pattern of the jacket beautifully. Pair it with a dress (as shown here) or with a cami and jeans.

SIZES: Shrug is sized to fit Women’s Small-Medium (Large-X-Large, XX- Large-XXX-Large).
