'Leap Year' Wrap

Introducing the revamped **LEAP YEAR WRAP**, originally designed in 2016 and now updated in 2022! This new version not only brings a fresh perspective to the beloved wrap but also includes a delightful bonus: a **COWL** pattern, expertly crafted to enhance your knitting experience. The cowl is designed to be worked flat using a 4.5mm needle, making it an enjoyable project for knitters at any skill level.

The **WRAP** is intended to be knitted in aran, bulky, or chunky weight yarn, allowing for a cozy and warm finish perfect for seasonal layering.

Designed with versatility in mind, the **COWL** utilizes Light Worsted Weight yarn. Here are the details on materials and sizes:

A provisional cast-on technique is used for the **COWL**, with the two ends elegantly grafted together using the classic Kitchener stitch. This method not only creates a seamless finish but also allows the cowl to be worn **sideways**, adding a unique twist to your wardrobe.

**COWL MEASUREMENTS**:

SIZE 1: 27cm in height with a circumference of 58cm (requires approximately 194m/212yds of light worsted yarn)

SIZE 2: 27cm in height with a circumference of 68cm (requires approximately 230m/252yds of light worsted yarn)

With this updated **LEAP YEAR WRAP** and the bonus **COWL**, you'll have the perfect combination of fashion and functionality in your knitwear collection. Ideal for all occasions, these designs offer warmth and style for both everyday outings and special events.
