Twining Wrap

Carol Feller’s love of cables and textures is front and center in this long triangular wrap that easily stays put on the shoulders.

If you’re new to cables, this is a good place to start. The shaping is minimal—all that action happens at the edges—leaving the body open for the uninterrupted twining of the stitches.
