A customer brought us this warm and cozy  wrap with sleeves from a boutique. The boutique price was $875, it was knit with Alpaca. We knit it with Plymouth's Baby Alpaca Grande for $174.   The wrap is worked in garter stitch in one piece starting at  left center front, the back, and then the long right front with a tapered end. The right front is the section that wraps around. Two sleeves are knit and set in. Minimal finishing is required.
