The corners at the beginning and end of each border are mitered to create the appearance of a continuous cabled band running around all four sides of the wrap.

Anthemion Wrap

The pattern is available for free from Knitty.com

Anthemion (An-THEE-me-un) is a term for a collection of palmette motifs common to Egyptian, Assyrian, Phoenician, Cypriote and Greek Art, universal in its beauty.

The beautiful stitch motif that borders this silken wrap echoes the form that anthemia take in trimming vases, stone carvings, and columns throughout history. The repeating chevron pattern in the center of the wrap flows naturally from the peaks and valleys created by the anthemion motif.
