Alyssum, named for the sweet alyssum flower that grows in the fall, is a beautiful pattern for a wrap which is double sided (both sides look similar) and stays flat. Adding fringe to both ends adds to the beauty of the design and helps it drape like a waterfall of color.

Hi, I have looked all over this page and don’t see a print button as referenced. I am using my cell phone, if that makes a difference.
Hi there! I don’t believe our mobile website has a print functionality at the moment. Were you looking to print wirelessly from your phone? I would like to know more information to help troubleshoot this, if you wouldn’t mind messaging our customer service team! https://www.ilikeknitting.com/contact-us/
