ABOUT
The unususal shape of Immersion Wrap is the answer to my wish for a meditation blanket that wouldn’t slide down my shoulders, even when sitting still for a long time. Another criterion was to make it stylish enough to wear outside, so I don’t have to pack too much in my yoga bag.
The result is this versatile design: an elegant, striking scarf when worn around the neck, and a warm, cape-like wrap when draped over the shoulders and back. And it really stays in place.
The fitted shape is achieved through a mix of simple techniques which create a three-dimensional effect, making each knitting session relaxed and meditative. The bouncy drape of the pleated garter fabric makes this wrap delightful to wear – whether you’re on the go or at home.

Description
This cozy meditation wrap is shaped through a mix of
different techniques which provide a cape-like fit on
the shoulders without slipping or much draping.

Techniques
The wrap is mainly worked in garter stitch with ribbed
sections, twisted stitches and short row shaping.

Dimensions
The finished scarf measures about 165 cm x 55 cm
/ 65 x 21,5“ without washing and blocking. It is recommended
to leave the finished piece unwashed since
the fabric relaxes through washing so the texture would
would loose its tension.

Gauge
24 sts x 36 rows = 10 cm / 4“ in garter stitch on 3,5
mm / US 4 needles. The knitted fabric should be rather firm.

Yarn
Sport or DK weight yarn,
preferrably non-superwash merino
About 400 g / 800 m (875 yds)

Needles
3,5 mm / US 4 and 3 mm / US 2,5 circular needles in
