DESCRIPTION
A versatile wrap, sweetly laced up with satin ribbon. The finished piece is perfect for keeping your shoulders warm on cold nights in the late summer and early fall. It transitions well into winter, when it can be used as a neck warmer and bold accessory to brighten up a plain coat. Fondant is knit in one piece, worked from side to side.
