Gives the impression of lace without the work.
 <  Image 1 of 3  > 

This gossamer wrap gives the impression of lace without the work of making increases, decreases, and yarn overs. You can achieve this effect by using a simple garter stitch and alternating three yarns, each with a beautiful and unique texture. The self fringe is created leaving a tail of yarn as you change yarns every other row.
