Construction notes:

This wrap is worked flat and is constructed using four different pattern sections. Section A has a patterned lace motif. Sections B and D are striped and solid short-row sections, and Section C is made up of plain and bead stitch stripes. There is an additional single stripe of bead stitch placed just after the first lace section and before the last lace section, providing symmetry to the piece. After completing the body of the wrap, stitches are picked up along each of the long edges to knit a striped border. The short edges are then finished with fringing.

Sizes and measurements:

One size
Finished measurements: 183 cm (72 in) wide and 27 cm (14.5 in) deep

Gauge:

22 sts and 40 rows to 10 cm (4 in) measured over lace pattern after blocking using 3.75mm (US 5) needles.
23 sts and 41 rows to 10 cm (4 in) measured over garter stitch after blocking using 3.5mm (US 4) needles.

Our Cumbria Fingering and Amble samples used almost all of colors A and B, with very little leftover. It is even more vitally important to check your gauge before starting to knit your Mullein because you may run out of yarn, or need to buy more if you do not match the stated gauge.
