This is a very feminine wrap with ruffles on both sides. You may remember it knit in Bellagio for my
daughter’s wedding. But I wanted to venture outside my box and knit this in Flax (100% linen). To my
delight it came out to be a very stunning piece. Flax starts out rough and I was worried about the lack of
softness. After washing, I pinned it out to block and dry. It came out soft and with a beautiful drape. I am
also told it softens more with each wash. Who Knew! This garment is knit length wise with a provisional cast
on and has a beautiful picot edge cast off on the ruffle. Don’t let the provisional cast on scare you off, you
can use a regular cast on and pick up stitches for ruffle instead…..there are no knitting police here!
