This simple but beautiful Whisper Wrap celebrates the all-natural softness of the cashmere, silk, and alpaca blend yarn. The yarn has a lovely halo that accents the simple lace pattern. The long rectangle shape falls nicely and wraps around your neck for a soft and stylish accent.

Notes * Wrap is worked with 1 strand of each color held together throughout.
* The lace panels can be worked from charts or written instructions. Border chart is worked one time at the beginning of each panel, and Body Lace is worked to desired length.
* Wrap is worked in 2 identical pieces from scalloped edge to the center, then grafted together.
* When finishing one of the panels, leave a very long tail (about four times the width of the piece) to join the two halves by grafting or 3-Needle Bind-Off.
