Marksbury Wrap is a reversible, rectangular wrap worked in fast-to-create bulky weight yarn. It features reversible cables that are different on the right and wrong sides, bands of knit/purl ribbing worked sideways, and innovative i-cord cast-on and i-cord selvedges. The stitch pattern is completely charted.

Marksbury Wrap has been professionally tech edited.

Once you are done knitting this pattern, you are done; weave in the ends, wet block, and you are ready to wear it with your favourite shawl pin.

The sample was knit in Shelridge Yarns Windmere, a 80%/20% blend of super wash merino and nylon. If you choose another yarn, aim for one with a substantial proportion of wool, to ensure that the stitch pattern pops and you are able to block the cables to advantage.

Even if you don’t usually make a gauge swatch for a shawl or wrap, I strongly suggest you do for this pattern, especially if you have a tendency to be a tight knitter. The pattern stitches are substantial, particularly the reversible cable component, and you want a wrap that drapes, that is not stiff.

The beautiful cable pattern comes from Moira Ravenscroft’s and Anna Ravenscroft’s Book, Reversible Knitting Stitches. The book is a treasure.
