Elegant Lace Wrap Knitting Pattern
During an inspiring class on charting lace with the renowned designer Joan Kass, I discovered a captivating stitch pattern that became the "jumping off point" for rows 11 to 18 of this exquisite lace wrap knitting pattern. This wrap is designed to be worked along its length, making it easy to adjust the size by altering either the stitch count for length or the number of row repeats for width. The finished wrap showcases stunning lacework, making it a perfect addition to any wardrobe.
This versatile pattern includes both comprehensive written instructions and detailed charted instructions, catering to different knitting preferences. Whether you choose to work with lace weight yarn, which requires approximately 700 - 800 yards, or opt for a luxuriously soft worsted weight yarn, this pattern ensures beautiful results that yield a stole of similar size.
Notes:
It's important to note that this pattern incorporates lace work in row 6, a wrong side row. The stitch key on page two provides special instructions for successfully navigating this row. Additionally, the use of stitch markers every 16 stitches is highly recommended during the first set of row repeats to help you "read" your knitting more effectively.
Yarn Requirements:
To complete this stunning lace wrap, you will need 638 yards (or 583 meters) of a worsted weight linen blend yarn that has a gauge of 5 stitches per inch, in two contrasting colors. This not only enhances the visual impact of your finished piece but also adds depth and dimension to the intricate lacework.
Skills Required:
• Mastery of stretchy cast-on and cast-off techniques
• Proficiency in working lace stitches
• Understanding of blocking techniques for the perfect finish
This elegant lace wrap knitting pattern is perfect for those looking to expand their skills in lace knitting, while also creating a beautiful, functional piece. Dive into the world of lace knitting and create a stunning wrap that you can wear on special occasions or every day!
