Ticking Wrap

This wrap continues my current obsession with linen stitch. I love it the fact that you can create all sorts of colourful patterns without stranding yarn. It also doesn’t look too crocheted which is generally a good thing.

This, like so many things I make started out as something else, I was going to make a large triangular wrap but as I went on it became obvious that there was going to be just too much of it so I changed tack. There is a point at one end and not at the other, a sort of trapezium, but I think the asymmetry works well, making it a versatile wear, particularly when you add some tassels. Feel free to make it bigger or smaller.
