The Classic Tweed Wrap is a timeless addition to your handmade wardrobe. A simple slipped-stitch motif knit in high contrast color creates a wrap that is visually and texturally pleasing. Knit with size US10 needles and worsted weight yarn, the resulting fabric is bouncy and cozy. The technique is beginner-friendly and perfect for getting lost in the comfort of the yarn and the rhythm of the stitches. Whether you are lounging indoors or enjoying outdoor adventures, this effortless wrap will keep you warm and stylish.

Supplies Needed:
Size 10 US Needles - Straight needles or short 16” circulars can be used
840 yards of worsted weight yarn. 2 skeins each of two contrasting colors. (Sample shown uses Malabrigo Rios 210 yards/skein.
Color 1 - Piedras, Color 2 - Sand Bank)
Tapestry Needle for weaving ends.
Hand Steamer for blocking (optional)

Finished Dimensions: Approximately 67 inches long and 15 inches wide. Steam blocking is recommended to even out the edge stitches and keep the squishy feel of the fabric.
