This sport weight, rectangle wrap, features an eye-catching chevron through the middle for draping over the shoulders or forming around the neckline, which is framed by textured contrasting bands. Uplift any outfit with this striking piece.

The easy-to-follow pattern includes picture instructions for those who may be new to carrying yarn up the side of the work. A method used during the chevron section of the wrap.

Pictures are also included for the creation of the textured stitch pattern. As well as a picture showing where to find the “bar between the stitches” for 3 stitches within the pattern, including m1r and m1l.

While this may be considered an “intermediate” pattern. The designer has gone to great lengths to make this pattern available to the adventurous beginner who is ready to expand their skill set.

MATERIALS
Yarn: Comfort DK by Berroco ( 50% super fine nylon/50% super fine acrylic - 1.75 oz/50g,178yds/165m) in 4 colors. As used in the sample, they are as follows:

A: Beige - color 2703 - 520 yards
B: Forest Green - color 2762 - 250 yards
C: Navy - color 2763 - 250 yards
D: Burgundy - color 2760 - 160 yards
Total Yards = 1,180

The synthetic yarn used in the sample gives this wrap its fantastic drape and is incredibly soft against the skin. While not only being more affordable, synthetic yarn is also easy to care for, highly accessible, and safe for those who may have allergies to natural fibers. However, synthetic yarn can be a bit more difficult to block into a fixed shape once the piece is completed. This pattern is framed on the vertical edges by garter stitch, the nature of which is to flip in towards the back of the work until blocked. At the end of the pattern are instructions for both blocking natural fiber yarn and synthetic yarn to help prevent this flip. While blocking will help, it will not completely prevent this from occurring. The wrap wears beautifully regardless.

Needles: US 6 (4mm) needles - The designer used 32” (81cm) circular needles.

If using synthetic yarn and following heat blocking instructions - iron, light color towel, and heat-resistant surface.

GAUGE
23 sts and 32 rows in stockinette on US size 6 (4mm) over 4” (10cm) each after blocking.
