Product Description
This simple and versatile lace wrap is a pretty addition to a spring wardrobe. Designed as a cross between a shawl and a shrug, it can be tied at the back or front – or worn loose. It would look great worn as a shrug over a dress, or the high collar means it could be worn instead of a scarf under a coat.
The pattern also includes the option of a ribbed tie-belt that can be tied at the front.

What is Being Made
The Cassandra Lace Wrap is a versatile knitted garment designed as a hybrid between a shawl and a shrug. This elegant piece can be worn multiple ways: tied at the back, tied at the front, or worn loose, making it a flexible addition to any wardrobe. The wrap is sized to fit bust/chest measurements of 32-38 inches (81-96.5 cm) in the smaller size and 40-46 inches (101.5-117 cm) in the larger size.
Design Dimensions and Fit
The wrap features carefully calculated measurements for versatile wear. The actual width from cuff to centre back measures 11½ inches (29 cm) for the smaller size and 14 inches (35.5 cm) for the larger size. The back width at the hem is 13 inches (33 cm) and 16 inches (40.5 cm) respectively. The length from hem to side shoulder is 13½ inches (34 cm) for the first size and 15½ inches (39.5 cm) for the second size.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
This intermediate-level knitting project features a lace pattern that is described as simple to work, making it accessible for knitters with some experience. The pattern provides both written instructions and a stitch chart, allowing knitters to follow their preferred method. The design includes ribbed tie options that can be knitted as part of the project, with both tie placements illustrated in the pattern documentation.
Materials and Yarn Specifications
The Cassandra Lace Wrap is designed to be worked in lace weight yarn. The recommended yarn is Debbie Bliss Rialto Lace, which is composed of 100% Extrafine Merino wool. This yarn provides 390 meters (426 yards) per 50-gram ball. The specified shade is Iris (Shade 030). Yardage requirements are 2 balls (50g each) for the smaller size and 3 balls for the larger size. Knitters who choose to knit the ribbed ties will need an additional 20 grams of yarn, which may require starting a third ball for the smaller size.
Needles and Tools Required
This project requires two pairs of knitting needles in different sizes to create proper gauge and stitch definition. Knitters will need a pair of 4mm (UK 8/US 6) knitting needles for the main fabric and a pair of 3.25mm (UK 10/US 3) knitting needles for ribbed sections. Additional accessories include stitch holders and stitch markers to manage stitches and track pattern repeats throughout the knitting process.
