One size fits most.
Amazing textures and rich lush colors make this wrap a delight to wear. You may make one as a gift, but you’ll wind up wanting one for yourself as well!

Holding one strand each of yarns a & B together, work in rows in K2, P2 rib until piece measures approximately 11.5-12 inches from cast on. (to make life easy I knit until the ball of yarn A ran out).
Drop yarn A and continue with one strand of yarn B only.

With next right side row, using one strand each of yarn A and yarn B held together, begin K2, P2 rib pattern for approximately 8-9 inches, ending on a wrong side row. On next right side row, (K2, P2) 3 times, bind off next six stitches, then continue in K2, P2 rib to end of row. On next row (K2, P2) 3 times, then add on/cast on 6 stitches to create buttonhole.
Beginning with next row, continue to work in K2, P2 rib for approximately 3-4 inches more (or until yarn A runs out).
Bind off all stitches.
Sew a cool button on to the side of the shawl that does not have the buttonhole.
Cuddle up!
