Electric Slide

This opulent rectangular wrap will electrify any outfit in your wardrobe! Beginning at the center, the design begins with a large triangular shawl worked with MC garter stitch and CC stockinette bands. Once the necessary width is achieved, bands of colorful lace are worked on the bias along the length of the shawl. The design is completed with two final triangles mirroring the halves of the center triangle. Much like the Electric Slide, this colorful wrap is sure to become a staple accessory for any wedding reception!
