Simple combinations of knit and purl stitches create geometric shapes that reflect light, providing textural interest to
this wrap design. The stitch repeats are relatively short and easily worked by an adventurous beginner. This is just the
sort of project that I reach for when needing a mental break from the hectic world around me.

The simple design, combined with this luxuriously soft yarn, makes this very soothing to knit. Make a wrap, as shown,
or decrease the width and create a handsome scarf as a gift for a favorite person in your life.

FINISHING

Weave in yarn ends. Block to finished dimensions. Wet blocking is recommended, as this yarn
responds well to soaking, producing the best results. The 7 sts along each side are meant to create
ridges, with the 3 stockinette edge sts curling around to the opposite side. DO NOT stretch them
out! Pin inside of the edge sts to get the proper width. When completely dry, remove from blocking
surface and trim all yarn ends.
