"The Joy Wrap is a fantastic spring and summer accessory. You can make it as long as you prefer. With this one I wanted one a little bit longer. Living on the coast in the UK the wind can be a little chilly, even in summer, so I like to have something to cover my shoulders and chest on family walks and when out with the dogs. I have spent many years stuck in a rut with being comfortable wearing darker colours and jeans so I also wanted something that screamed summer and made me smile! The yarn I used for this one does just that. " - Helen @ Sunflower Cottage Crochet for Joy of Motion
