Big, fat, lush – and reversible!–cables run the whole length and width of this dramatic winter wrap providing texture for days and warmth to sink into when the cold winds blow. But don't be fooled by its robust appearance; when knit in airy wool at a loose gauge and with a few eyelets thrown in, the fabric is light and drapes–never heavy.

If rustic wool isn't your style, try it in a silkier blend–the result is completely polished, going from boardroom to evening with elegant, streamlined smoothness. This project is a surprisingly quick knit for gifting or when a fresh winter accessory is needed.
