The River Wash wrap is a rectangular shawl worked from the center out in both directions. Designed in an effort to marry traditional technique and trending style, crocheters will recognize the granny stitch but will have never seen it used this way. Add in the transition from deep indigo to inky black and you get a practical, stylish and edgy wrap perfect for any season.

Please put a diagram in here, simple lines, plz
are you sure its a rectangle? I am following the patterns and mine is a triangle. Am I doing something wrong?
It’s probably more like a trapezoid…
Is this a triangle? I can’t tell from the photos and there is no black-and-white diagram to show the piece.
Hello and thank you for your comment.
This is a rectangular wrap. I hope this helps.
Thank you!
