Chameleon wrap…
It’s Leonie’s wrap.
I hooked it like Michelle, Kate & Tania … I’m way to slow on the sticks.
I followed Leonie’s directions for the measuring but I left it a bit shy of where I want it to sit as I expect it to drop with wear over the next couple of days.
I’m calling it the Chameleon because it looks completely different in different light & depending what you’re wearing underneath (or if you stand against a rust wall I’ve discovered).
Just as I did with the slashed vest, the armholes are set a little higher to give more flexibility. It can be worn upside down, inside out & round about. You can check that out here.
Details…
Yarn – Cleckheaton Coutry Paintbox 8 ply Col: 31
Hook – 9mm (yep 9 – I was going for drape)
Stitch – I used double crochet (Aus/UK) or US single crochet
Edited to add: I used 6 balls & my wrap was 23 inches x 34 inches
Happy weekend all.

If you glance at it quickly it looks like a mesh vest…probably not what you want to here, but I think it looks super!

Cute one piece styling. The variegation in the yarn worked out cool–well balanced and no polling of color. Nice photo styling, too!

It is gorgeous! I love the look of that yarn too. I've hooked one up for my 9 year old and now I'm contemplating knitting one up in another colour for me. One can't have too many wrap's now.

You can't be serious? That is the same one I'm thinking of, only with the addition of a rust wall – right??? Wowzers. Love to see what happens when you climb a tree and think green, lizardy thoughts…
