English Garden Wrap

“…to sit in the shade on a fine day, and look upon verdure, is the most perfect refreshment.” - Fanny (Mansfield Park by Jane Austen)

Add some lovely wool & needles to Fanny’s thoughtful recommendation, and you have the perfect afternoon of knitting bliss! Introducing the English Garden Wrap, a beautifully designed knitting pattern inspired by the meticulously tended flower beds and charming walking paths reminiscent of Jane Austen’s time. This lovely wrap features a delightful combination of Daisy and Garter stitches, paired with large needles to create a simple yet refreshing piece, knitted on the bias. The end result is a stunning, flowing fabric that embodies both elegance and ease.

The English Garden Wrap is constructed from corner to corner, allowing you to create delicate points that add an extra touch of sophistication to your creation. For the best results, this wrap work beautifully with solid, semi-solid, tonal, or speckled yarns. For the Garter-Stitch sections (Main Color - MC), consider using a highly variegated yarn to add visual interest. However, for the Daisy-stitch sections (Contrast Color - CC), it’s wise to choose something more subtle to allow those lovely stitches to shine.

This wrap is ideal for knitters who want to embrace the timeless beauty of Jane Austen’s era while creating a functional and fashionable accessory. Whether you're relaxing in your garden, enjoying a picnic, or simply sitting in a cozy nook, the English Garden Wrap will add a touch of charm and comfort to your knitting experience.
