Charlevoix Wrap & Scarf
The Charlevoix wrap is perfect for cool summer evenings. The blend of silk and linen gives the finished wrap (and scarf) a wonderful drape, softness, and shine. And with the I-cord edges and K2P2 pattern, it’s completely reversible (just be sure to weave in ends carefully)!
This wrap begins at the bottom left corner, increasing at both edges until the full width is achieved. Then a decrease is worked at one edge while an increase is worked at the other to continue the bias shaping. When the desired length is achieved, decreases are worked at both edges until just a few stitches remain.
