Like symmetrical perfection? This trapezoidal wrap is for you. It’s knit in soft, squishy, don’t-have-to-think-about-it garter stitch from a light and luxurious mohair blend and a springy and soft SuperWash wool. With a clever construction yielding two perfectly matched halves and generating maximum color impact from a hand-dyed gradient, this is truly a knit that even a perfectionist can love.
