Ways by Siew Clark
It is crocheted from bottom to top, asymmetrical, trapezium wrap. Increases were made at both ends and are staggered. It can be worn in different ways; turn it 180 or as a poncho. Sizes are 34" to 36", 38" to 40" and 42" to 44". Any yarn will be great as long as the wrap turns out drapey. Any colours will be great too.
