Shifting Sands is a delightfully draping cover up or poncho that can be worn in one of two ways, depending on how you style and seam it! This Adventurous Beginner level knit pattern is perfect as a summer cover up or just for layering and lounging around the house. Download Shifting Sands at Shifting Sands was designed to be a lovely, flowing wrap to wear on all your beachy adventures. The pattern includes a simple eight-row repeat and can be customized to fit your body. The wrap features beads and drop stitches for additional interest.
