Whimsical Lane Wrap
This is a light and floaty fingering weights rectangular wrap, very versatile to wear, is knit from corner to corner, meaning no large cast on or kind off number of stitches. The stitch count stabilises and remains the same for a large part of the wrap which allows for modification in length if desired. The design is worked on a balanced plan to provide equal amounts of engagement of comfort, featuring natured themed easy to work lace sections separated by cosy Garter stripes sequences interspersed with slipped stitches patterned rows to add interest. I would recommend two tonal/solid shades for the garter stripe combination and whatever yarn you love for the lace sections. Whether delicately draped over the shoulders to provide some light cover or layered around the neck cosy scarf style, formal or casual, it makes a great versatile useful interesting wardrobe piece for many occasions.

Knitting skills & techniques used:
Intermediate: Casting on off 1 stitch binding off of 2 stitches, knitting, purling, slipping stitches purlwise/knitwise, increasing & decreasing, by way of KFB, SSK, K2tog, K3tog & YO.

Materials: Requires approx 1,228 metres / 1,343 yards Fingering weight yarn. 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. 5-10% 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:

For the Sample I used: Eden Cottage Yarns, Keld Fingering,
(90% Wool - Merino, 10% Cellulose – Linen/Flax, 100g, 394 yards / 360 meters) in the colourways as listed below, but any wool based/blend Fingering Weight yarn of choice should work fine.
Yarn A: ‘Barn Door’ (Variegated neutral), 555 yards / 508 metres
Yarn B: ‘Hyssop’ (Greenish grey), 394 yards / 360 metres
Yarn C: ‘Linen’ (cream), 394 yards / 360 metres

Needles: 4mm / US 6 Circular needle (80cm-150cm) or long enough straights

Notions: 16 stitch markers. Tapestry needle / crochet hook to weave in ends.

Gauge: 4” (10 cm) on 4 mm / US 6 needles (after blocking)
20 sts & 40 rows in Garter stitch, 20 sts & 34 rows in stockinette stitch, blocked.
Incorrect Gauge can affect finished measurements / yarn usage.
