DESIGN DETAILS
- A wrap plus:
- A stylish shoulder cover up, when dining out
- A long sleeved shrug for relief from air conditioning, slip your arms through the sleeves for a stylish shrug
- Tie it around your waist for a butt cover-up and at the same time; avoid using your bare hands to open germ laden door knobs or traffic light buttons using the hanging sleeves, exactly in the perfect position. Good idea to use a washable yarn.
- Knit a second one, and leave in your car for the times when you need an emergency cover-up.

Regardless of actual body measurements, everyone prefers a different finished look. It is helpful to use the “measurements of the finished garment” to decide which size to make. The following measurements refer to this specific garment only. It can help you choose the look you prefer.
