Drop-Stitch Wrap
Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice®
GAUGE:
16 sts + 20 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Drop-Stitch Wrap Reviewed by Audrey Lewis on 2011-05-27
Very easy to make, however not as classy looking as in the photo. I too changed the pattern slightly. Knitted picot edging on collar and edges. I was so disappointed by the initial look of it, that I put it aside for several months, when I took it out again (finishing all my UFOs) it actually wasn't bad. Glad I didn't toss it. It looks good.
