Candy Wrapper shawl

Candy Wrapper

A great way to create a splash is with sweeping waves of course.

Starting out with a few beads in a sweet lace border, moving into a favorite wave pattern and ending with a stretchy bind off. Style it as a cowl, wrap or shawl. Create yours in one color or as many as 10. Have fun with it!
