Beartooth Wrap

This wrap is an ideal quick and easy introductory project for intarsia color knitting enthusiasts.

As you embark on this delightful knitting adventure, you'll likely find yourself more engaged in maintaining the beautiful seed stitch border than worrying about managing multiple yarn balls. With generous sweeping color sections throughout the design, you’ll have a minimal number of yarn tails to weave in at the end—definitely a bonus! Love it! :)

This unique wrap stands out not only for its striking aesthetics but also for its thoughtful materials. While mohair can often be quite warm for an entire shawl, this design masterfully distributes the "mohair warmth." It simultaneously showcases the mohair as a focal point, contrasting its light and airy texture against the surrounding solid wool stripes for a captivating visual effect.

If you prefer not to use mohair or have an allergy to it, no worries! You can easily replace the mohair with a boucle yarn, which will add an intriguing texture to your wrap, perfect for those seeking something different.

The bold zigzag pattern of this wrap draws inspiration from the stacked mountain ranges of the Rocky Mountains and is aptly named after the majestic Beartooth Mountain range that straddles the border of Montana and Wyoming.

Note: When selecting your mohair yarn, consider the weight and texture to ensure the best outcome for your wrap.

This project is perfect for both beginner and intermediate knitters looking to expand their skills and create a stunning piece that can be worn year-round. Whether you're knitting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this intarsia wrap will surely impress.
