Sensational Seaweed Wrap

This cowl/wrap/scarf uses only one ball of yarn and is inspired by seaweed found within the sea, whose colors are mirrored in the varying hues of yarn. The wrap has a simple sea foam lace construction with added beads reminiscent of pearls. The wrap is long and wide and can be worn open over a dress or, by closing the buttons, can become a cozy cowl and worn long or doubled up.
