“I grew up loving yarn. I love the feel and texture of yarn going through my hands. It literally tells me what to do with it!”
Fan Trellis Wrap
Rows of shells and pretty open stitches are combined for an all-season wrap to wear with everything from jeans to the prettiest party dress. Best of all, since you are crocheting with medium weight yarn it won’t take long until you can wear it.
