This pattern was inspired by a dream I had where someone was wearing a hooded wrap that was edged with little bobbles. Knitted in the two colors of the model it makes me think of waves crashing on a dreamscape shore. The shaping and styling of the wrap was born from trying to recreate the dream image of a wrap more fitted than a shawl with a hood and scarf tails. This piece is worked flat from the bottom up, in Stockinette Stitch throughout, with a row of alternating bobbles in a contrasting color every 15 rows.

Size: Approx. 50” around the bottom edge from the ends of the scarf tails, and 20” from the neck to the bottom edge at the back.

Materials: MC: approx. 780 yds (713m) or 12oz (340g) of worsted weight yarn (model uses Lion Brand Pound of Love). CC: approx. 200yds (182m) or 3oz (85g) of DK or sport weight yarn (model uses Red Heart Baby Sport) U.S. Size 6 circular needle at least 48” long, stitch markers.

Gauge: 20 sts by 28 rows = 4” x 4”

Techniques Used:
Stockinette Stitch
Decreasing stitches
Short Rows
Making Bobbles

Since the cast on and cast off edges are so long, a very long circular needle is recommended. I used a 60” needle and found it to be about right. For an easier version of the wrap, you could use only one color rather than having the bobbles all in a contrasting color. Because of the short rows and shoulder decreases, it may not be possible to keep the spacing between the bobbles perfectly consistent. I did not specify instructions for each bobble row for this reason. The bobbles and knit stitches in CC should be alternated between rows, and kept 6 stitches apart within rows, but you may need to adjust this around decreases or short rows. If you prefer smaller bobbles, feel free to work them over 4 or 3 stitches instead of 5 and work 2 fewer rows on each bobble. There are three sets of stitch markers in this pattern so you don’t have to count large numbers of stitches. It may be helpful to have different colored markers to denote each set.
