Unicorn Stripes Wrap
YOU’RE A UNICORN! Make this wrap as unique as you are!
The Unicorn Stripes Wrap is super simple reversible wrap designed use and show off all your special single skeins of yarn with no ends to weave in. With an easy to memorize 8 stitch repeat, this will become your next relaxing TV knit. This pattern is suitable for beginners.
The stripes on this wrap are double thick stripes making this the squishiest fabric.
Selecting Yarn
The main colour creates the lines on one side of the fabric; the contrast colour creates the lines on the other side. You can use one colour for the contrast colour or rotate through many colours for the effect shown in the samples. The total yardage of your contrast colours should be approximately the same as the yardage of your main colour. Variations include:
- pair a gradient set with a solid colour
- use you single skeins or leftovers of yarn as the contrast colour
- use fingering weight held single or double
- size is adjustable by casting on your desired length of the wrap and knit till you run out of yarn
