Park City begins with a squishy garter stitch body bordered by i-cord before shifting to the main event: a band of stranded colorwork using either two or three colors per row. The locked floats technique ensures a neat finish on both sides, prevents long floats, and—when worked as suggested by Kyle in his workshops—removes color dominance, allowing all colors to appear with equal intensity. To maintain fabric elasticity, trap floats by catching the carried yarn every second stitch of the same color—lift it over the working yarn as you insert the needle, then knit as usual. After the colorwork, a simple garter rib edging completes the wrap with style.
