Corinne
Introducing Corinne, an attractive wrap for the shoulders or cowl for the neck, textured with leafy lace. It's worn well both inside or out, providing warmth with style. Worked lengthwise, the dimensions of its grafted loop are easily modified by row count or gauge to suit preferences of size or purpose. The short rows at its upper edge taper lines for a sleeker fit.
You’ll find Corinne to be a fun and quick, multi-season project. Great as a gift too – surely a welcomed addition to any wardrobe. Enjoy!
