Less travelled is wide rectangular wrap. It uses twisted stitches on a reverse stockinette background to create a large chevron feature down the middle, and icord on all four of the edges make for a beautifully finished piece. You can easily modify this pattern to suit your specific needs. Want it longer? Add more pattern repeats. Like a more traditional, skinnier scarf? Cast on less stitches and work less of the seed stitch border. Knit with silky superwash merino yarn, with speckles the colours of dirt and sand, this wrap is your reminder to take the road less travelled.

Notes

• Shawl is knit from side to side, beginning with a provisional cast on.
• I-cord edges are added as you knit, and an I-cord Bind Off is used at the end. Once the shawl is complete, stitches from your provisional cast on are picked up and an I-cord Bind Off is used again, to make a completely seamless edge around the whole shawl.
• Charted directions and written directions are both included in the pattern.
