Comments,
This is a very adaptable pattern, suitable for lap rugs, scarves, wraps, shrugs, shawls or whatever your imagination dictates.
It is a very open stitch, so take care if catching is likely to be a problem. If the yarn will co operate, fulling can be an improvement. Fine Alpaca fulled would be excellent.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the details! I like that the pattern is adaptable and easy to make. My granny will like it. I'm looking for some easy and plain schemes for her.
