Wicklow Wrap

About This Pattern

A simple rectangle can produce a drapey, asymmetrical wrap when worked with a clever combination of stitches in a luscious baby alpaca blend. The intricate cable patterns add dimension and texture, creating a striking contrast against a simple knit/purl body. Easy to slip on over your head, this knit will keep you toasty and warm.
