MY MADRIGAL FLORAL WRAP
I told my
family and friends that I was going to participate in the Ravellenics Games and
I got a load of ideas and requests.. so yaay! It seems to have filled up all
the Games slots for me.. and I ain’t complaining at all .. loving every minute
! This pattern has been chosen by my lovely niece – and she made it so easy for
me by even choosing the pattern.

The name for
this pattern : Well, it almost chose itself.
The yarn I’m using is Madrigal I Love This Yarn. So I just googled to check the meaning of
Madrigal and find that it has a *similar* meaning in both English as well as
Hindi .. a part-song for several voices.
Part of my wrap (the body trellis part) is with this Madrigal
yarn, and then the lovely floral tassels which my niece loved, is in our Indian
Vardhaman Milennium yarn – and together they are making some really sweet
music! This wrap has been such a lovely project !
Materials used :
Today I’ve used one skein of 4000 Madrigal, I Love This Yarn and about 100 gms
of our lovely Indian Vardhaman Millenium acrylic yarn, with a 4 mm crochet hook

or Love of Crochet, Summer 2016.
The only thing(s) that I did differently was
starting with the foundation single crochet instead of a chain start and I also
increased the number of flowers on the tassel – as I felt that this was so
wonderful (as did my niece) that it *just* needed a few more than the designer
had written up for
