Annas Shoulder wrap

I created this shoulder wrap with a yarn I had bought in Paris during a family vacation. Thanks to Azzukas suggestion http://azzuknits.blogspot.com - I visited La Droguerie and fell in love with all the yarns I saw. This is the soie vegetale bamboo fiber. Lovely to knit. You can make this pattern with any type of yarn and in any size. It is worked on the idea of rectangles (even the armholes are rectangles, but then with the crochet edging and the movement of the yarn they became round).

In order to adapt the size to your figure you have to change the number of stitches casted on, the rows from the border to the armholes, and in between the armholes. Even the armholes can be easily changed in size by adding or not stitches or rows. The finished size of the one I have knitted and written instructions for (size S) are 45 x 110 cms.
