Seed Stitch Baby Blanket - Free Knitting Pattern

Persephone Wrap
I am excited to share this new design for the blog hop hosted by Crochet Foundry Magazine. I wanted to design a wrap for the spring season, and I am very happy with how it turned out. The lacy design works up quickly, which is great if you want an extra long wrap like I made. It is a versatile design. I wore the wrap as a shawl, a scarf, and I also wrapped it around as a cowl/shawl combo.
