I have never worked with this yarn so I do not know how bulky it is. I know the needles are big. It is an interesting pattern and not hard to do as well. I may not sew up the front, just add buttons. It would make for a warm wrap. Thank you for the pattern.

I've always known that cast off as a stretchy one because of the extra stitches worked. Can't see that it's very lacey.
