Pastaza Wrap - Abundant Yarn

Diana Wrap
By Hannah Cuviello
This simple cabled wrap/vest is warm and
elegant, perfect for a Fall evening. You can wear
it open and flowing, drape it over your shoulders,
or complete the look with a decorative shawl pin.

Cascade Pastaza Paints (50%Llama/50% wool,
132 yds/100g); 9 skeins; shown in “
Emerald City” (9930).

longer)
Tapestry needle

Gauge:
12 sts /18 rows = 4inches in Seed Stitch

chart repeat measures 12.5 inches x 5.5 inches.
