Waterways Wrap
This is a lightweight floaty elegant but easy to wear wrap, full of lace and texture, ideal as a warm weather cover up or wrapped around for delicate warmth. It is knit in a leaning bias shape with regular increasing and decreasing as it forms, and whilst the textured and lace patterns keep it an engaging knit, they are quite simple and intuitive.

Knitting skills & techniques used:
Immediate: Casting on, binding off, knitting, purling, decreasing/increasing by way of K2tog & SSK for patterning as well as for (RS) row shaping of the wrap due to the bias leaning design.

Materials:
The following yarn usage amount is an approximate guide and is in fact a little over the actual amount I used, as I have applied an approx. 10% buffer of each ball used, plus rounded up the numbers, in view of differences between knitter’s gauge and such, and to give you a few grams room:
Requires approx. 1,179 yards / 1, 078 metres Fingering weight yarn.
For the Sample I used: Emiteri Yarns, Silky Singles,
(70% Super-wash Merino / 30% Silk, 100g, 437 yards / 400 meters) The Sample was made up using a single colourway, called ‘Periwinkle Sparkle’, the amount required of which is above, as well as the fibre content. However, any wool/wool blend Fingering Weight yarn of choice should work fine, with a silk content or single ply being ideal!
Needles: 4mm / US 6 Circular needle (minimum of 60cm)
Notions: 15 stitch markers. Tapestry needle / crochet hook to weave in ends.
Gauge:
4” on 4 mm / US 6 needles (after blocking), 27 sts & 32 rows Stockinette st
And 1 Repeat of the chart pattern 1A = 4cm in sts 7.5cm in rows - see between the - in Section 1A on page 2, Rows 1–24, as part of the written instructions & as a chart on page 22. This pattern is also worked in reverse for Section 1B on page 17.
Optional 1 Repeat of the chart pattern 3A = 2.5 cm in sts 7cm in rows - see between the - in Section 3A on page 6, Rows 1-24, as part of the written instruction & as a chart on page 22. This pattern is also worked in reverse for Section 3B on page 14.
(I suggest casting on at least 2 times of the chart repeat, enabling room to measure, and to start from the actual beginning of the repeat comfortably. Placing a marker at each end of the repeats sts as well as on the first & last row to show you the repeats range to measure. Incorrect Gauge can affect finished measurements / yarn usage.)
