Louvre (ENG)

DESCRIPTION
The Louvre Wrap is a rectangular shawl wide and long enough to wrap yourself in.
Worked flat, it is knitted using the i-cord cast-on method and both edges use an i-cord to be finished off with the i-cord bind-off.
Even if the wrap looks like a colorwork, you will always use one color at a time by using short rows to color shape the shawl pattern.
The Louvre Wrap could be knitted with a cotton blend yarn (as the sample) for a chilly summer night or in a woolen yarn for a cozy winter night.
