Papillon Wrap Knitting Pattern

I fell in love with a ball of Adriafil Stella Jacq and wondered what I would do with it. The result was my Papillon wrap - so called because I used lovely handmade butterfly buttons to finish it. The wrap can be knit in any aran weight yarn but I would recommend that you use a light aran for the lace to allow it to drape nicely.
