Brighton | Vine Lace Wrap
Design Information
The Brighton Wrap is a rectangular wrap featuring two delicate lace stitch patterns. Each half of the wrap is cast on separately, worked from the bottom edge to the center, and grafted together or the joining method of your choice. The wrap can be customized to your desired length and width. Just know that your yarn requirements will change accordingly. Worked in crisp Cattail Silk, this lovely project will elevate any outfit.
