Colonnade, Stephen West's cozy wrap featured in the Fall 09 issue of  Knitty, is the number one pattern on Ravelry.
Close it capelet-style with a toggle  . . .
or drape it scarf-like for a ultimate coziness.
Quick to knit, nicely shaped with a bit of stocking stitch, a bit of simple lace, we're adding this shawl to our list of all the wonderful things you can make with Manos Clasica.
