A statement piece doesn’t have to be elaborate; the thoughtful partnership of details can turn a simple rectangle into an art piece. With an emphasis on simple stitch movement, Crackling Fire calls for a high-sheen, rayon blend yarn that— when paired with a vibrant stitch pattern—dances in the light like burning embers. Incredibly simple to knit, this low-maintenance wrap is even easier to wear.

Who knew a simple rectangle wrap could hold so much potential? Worked from side to side with tantalizing texture built with simple knits and purls, you’ll work a row of dramatic decreases followed by a row of dramatic increases to bring the stitch count back to where it began.
