Simple Mohair Wrap & Afghan (in 2 gauges)

A big, fluffy blanket to curl up under. Or a graceful shawl you can throw over the back of a chair or around your shoulders with equal elegance. It's the perfect project for newer knitters or accomplished knitters looking for some 'zen'  knitting between more complicated projects.
