DESCRIPTION
The Switch Wrap was designed to give its owner the ability to switch things up! Wear as a wrap, poncho, or ruana. Color blocking adds intrigue while further enhancing style possibilities.

FINISHING
Make fringe by cutting (195) 8” strands of yarn. Make 3 stacks consisting of (65) strands of each color (or divide the colors to your preference).
Use the Lark’s Head Knot method to attach fringe. To do this, gather 3 strands of yarn together, fold in half to create a loop at one end, thread loop end from front to back of wrap on outside edge of CC 1 border, thread loose ends through loop, and tighten. Repeat every 2.5-3”(6.35-7.62cm) to trim the border.
Block to final measurements.
