Pattern Description:

This reversible shoulder wrap is designed to be
simple in its patterning so that it can really show
of the beauty of hand-dyed yarn with a soft halo.
Usually, when you have handdyed, variegated and/
or sparkly yarn, you do not want to select a pattern
with lots of busy details, which often seem to get
lost in variegated yarns and vice versa.

This wrap is constructed from end-to-end with a
loop that acts as a clasp to hold the wrap in place.
It is joined while working the body of the wrap. The
"tail" end of the wrap is shaped asymmetrically for
additional interest.
