Big & Bigger Basketweave Wrap by Churchmouse Yarns and Teas

Big & Bigger Basketweave Wrap in Two Gauges

We wanted a piece with lots of squishy texture and glorious, lavish proportions—one we could fling grandly over our shoulder or wrap up in indoors or out. Then we scaled it down a little, both in size and gauge. But you can knit either size in either gauge so your yarn choices are vast!
