What happens if you ÔgrowÕ a wrap rather than simply knit it and think of a pattern as a seed rather than a plan?

Well, hereÕs the result: a surprisingly gleeful ruffle of color and texture that hugs your shoulders and drapes like a dream. Knit on size 11US/8mm and 13US/9mm circuliar needles, the beloved feather and fan stitch unfolds in gorgeous flights of texture and color to showcase any yarn to it's best advantage. Mix in mohair to create misty waves amid ridges of chunky fare; add streams of luminesent silk or cotton for a lacy effect amid the hills and valleys. Any yarn, any weight, any fiber, will do. Each combination creates a unique effect and no two projects will or should look the same. The pattern includes suggestions on how to create 'Mist over the Mountain' effects, 'Lace Wings' or 'Foothills and Valley's' as well as a scarf variation of the pattern.
