by Dana Addy - Addyble Knits
Love to be cozy while reading? This wrap, inspired by the patterns on the spine of an antique book, will keep you warm while setting the mood for your literary adventures! The motifs are created using work-as-you go Swedish weaving, and then further embellished with simple embroidery during finishing. A stocking stitch background and minimalist edgings provide relaxing knitting, perfect for travel or a day spent with your favourite person!
