This cozy, wearable, V-shaped wrap is the perfect shape for wrapping around yourself and is easier than crescents or half-circle shapes. The design starts with a lace edging for the lower and side edges and then decreases are used to create the angles that make the shape. Lacy stripes of different textures will show off a pretty yarn.
