Vail Mountain Wrap

This is from Naturally Caron Spa.  It is a unique pattern worked somewhat like the circular bicycle spikes and it mysteriously ends up being a square.  You join the squares as you go, so no joining remaining to do after the squares are done!  It was a little bit of a teaser to the brain initially but once the first square was figured out, it was enjoyable.  The yarn is so soft it was a pleasure to work with.  The wrap drapes well.

I made this for me last year!  A good dose of self love :)

A side story to share.  The girls were practicing for one of the group dances last year, and I would bring this in my hobby bag during their practice sessions.  I was making the center white circles at that time and a little girl, a sibling of one of S's friends was fascinated by them.  I gave a couple of them for her to play with which kept her entertained for the entire duration of the practice session.  I also stuck it to a couple of hair pins which made for an instant gift of hair pin accessories.  She loved it and it looked oh so adorable!
