ABOUT THE OVERBRIMMING WRAP
overbrim (intransitive verb): to flow over the brim; overflow
My first memory of the word “overbrimming” involved reading about someone who was on the verge of crying from joy. The text explained that their eyes were overbrimming with happy tears, and I thought that sounded rather nice. I’ve kept the word in my mental back pocket ever since.
And then I got the idea to design this deliciously massive wrap. It is overbrimming in every sense of the word, full of textures and eyelets and cables. I wanted this thing to be a sensory feast so that, whenever someone picked it up to work on it or wear it, they would feel wrapped up in abundance. Never fear, though—as usual, this wrap has a repeat that’s only eight rows long and uses lots of repetition and symmetry to make it easily memorized.

I purchased this pattern and I'm very excited to start it. But when printing it out the font size is huge. 24pt and 14 pages long. I only printed out the charts and photo for reference as I don't want to use that much paper. I think I will try for a infant blanket by doubling the width. It will be a lovely gift. Thank you for so many lovely patterns.

Hi Mary! Thanks so much for your support. There are two different formats of the pattern, both of which are included with your download. The version you opened is the low-vision accessible format, which is meant for knitters who need a larger font to be able to read the pattern comfortably. Try the PDF labeled "Small Format." That should be easier to print!
