Like waves along the shore, two different variations on the traditional Feather and Fan lace pattern combine to provide different textures of lace (and break up a multicolored hand-dyed yarn) in a big, cozy wrap. Wavery would also be beautiful in a solid yarn. Worked from one end to the other and bordered by Garter Stitch edges, make Wavery as long as you wish.

Lace pattern is provided in both charted and written forms.
