Aiofe Wrap DK
If you’re looking for the perfect knitting project that captures the beauty of nature, this two-colored wrap is inspired by the enchanting trees found in serene woods. Skillfully designed, this wrap is worked from the edges into the center and expertly joined together using a simple 3-needle bind-off on the wrong side. Starting and ending with elegant 2x2 ribbing, this wrap showcases a striking body crafted from alternating columns of seed stitch and ribbing, highlighted by a stunning center cable motif. The edges of the wrap are beautifully defined by intricate cables that run along each side, adding both texture and visual interest.
