JULIANA WRAP
Crochet Neckerchief or Shoulder Shawl The orange version was made to wear at the Queen's Day Celebration in Amsterdam at the end of April 2010. On that day everyone wears orange in honour of the royal House of Orange. This wrap is named Juliana - the name of the previous Queen of the Netherlands, whose birthday is still the date for the celebration. Queen's Night is celebrated on the evening before with open air concerts and bars late into the night. The Juliana Wrap is perfect to wear in the evening as it gives just enough cosiness without being heavy. The mesh section is flexible and squishes small to wear around the neck . Or it will lay flat if you want to wear it as a shawl on your back.
The tassels have a crocheted top section and they are both attractive and functional. They can be tied in different positions, left untied or the Juliana can be worn as a normal scarf with one end over the shoulder. The weight of the tassels keeps it all in place!
