Liddel
Whether it is the addictive stitch pattern or amazingly rich colours, we don’t know, but the results are captivating, lush, and oh-so decadent. Liddel wraps you up in chic, comfortable style in no time at all.
PATTERN NOTES
This wrap is designed to use almost all of the yarn, with a little to spare for safety sake. Changes in gauge will result in changes in the amount of yarn used, as well as the final project size. Keep this in mind during your planning. You can adjust this with a kitchen scale and working Colour A until half of the yarn remains and then working until the yarn runs out, keeping the remaining blend and solid blocks equal in length.
The stitch pattern is extremely stretchy, so you can expect some variation in the row gauge without too much worry.
The design is a variation of Fisherman’s Rib. It seems counterintuitive to count a “rib” as knitting every row, but give it a couple of rows and you’ll see it take shape.
Tip: To count rows easily in Fisherman’s Rib, count each V stitch on the RS as two rows. Use a locking stitch marker to place on the front/RS of the piece to help differentiate from the WS.
Optional: To turn the wrap into an infinity scarf, simply seam the ends together.
