Celtic Birds Wrap

Discover the beauty of Fair Isle knitting with this stunning wrap pattern, expertly crafted using the stranded method. To prevent large loops at the back of your work, make sure to ‘catch’ long floats of more than 3 stitches. This pattern includes detailed charts for the intricate Fair Isle sections of the wrap, guiding you through each step effortlessly.

This gorgeous wrap is knitted flat using 3mm (2.5 US) needles in a smooth stockinette stitch, where you knit on the right side and purl on the wrong side. It features lovely moss (seed) stitch borders, adding texture and interest to the design. The wrap is created in two identical pieces, worked from the right and left ends toward the center. For a seamless finish, these pieces are then grafted together using the recommended Kitchener Stitch. While other joining methods can be used, Kitchener Stitch is highly favored as it produces an invisible, flawless join that enhances the overall aesthetic of your project.

This elegant wrap is made with quality fingering weight yarn, specifically 4 skeins of Mechita by Malabrigo, which is 100% merino wool. Each skein provides ample yardage, measuring 100 grams and 420 yards (384 meters). For this project, you will need:

• 2 skeins (totaling 768m or 840 yards) of the beautiful Polar Morn colorway
• 1.5 skeins (totaling 576m or 630 yards) of the soft Sheri shade
