Stripes & Solid 
Garter & Herringbone

Ampersand Wrap is a DK weight asymmetrical shaped triangular wrap / shawl, knit side to side. A combination of relaxing modified-garter stitch is paired with herringbone stitch (separated by a super fun lateral braid!) making for an enjoyable knit is sure to fly off the needles. The two-tone stripes of section one are complimented by the single tone of section two, allowing the texture of the herringbone stitch to take center stage.
