One Point Wrap

By: Mary Beth Temple, excerpt from Arm Knitting

You can knit more than scarves with arm knitting. The One Point Wrap is a quick and creative design that youll love to make and wear. A decrease technique gives this arm knit shawl a distinctive look. Take your arm knitting game to the next level with this surprisingly simple pattern. Decreases dont have to be scary, as this pattern proves. Add your own personal touch to the pattern by changing up the type of buttons used to secure the wrap.
