Mafadi

This stunning wrap, designed for knitters of all skill levels, is crafted from the bottom up and features a chic rectangular shape. The pattern showcases intricate brioche cables combined with the elegant look of reverse stockinette, making it a perfect accessory for any season. Its versatility allows it to be dressed up or down, complementing a wide variety of outfits.

One Size Fits All: The wrap measures 158cm / 62" in length and 40.5cm / 16" in width, ensuring a generous fit that can be styled in numerous ways.

Yarn Specifications: This pattern uses Yama Fibre Art Merino Linen Singles, a luxurious fingering weight yarn (4-ply) composed of 90% superwash Merino and 10% linen, providing a soft and breathable fabric. Each skein offers 360m / 394yds per 100g. For the project, you'll need:

• Yarn A: Khaki - 2 skeins
• Yarn B: Ursus - 2 skeins

Gauge Information: Achieve a gauge of 32 stitches and 19.5 brioche rows (39 rows total) to measure 10cm / 4" in the brioche and reverse stockinette pattern using 3.75mm needles, after blocking. Correct gauge is crucial for ensuring your wrap turns out perfectly sized.

Recommended Needles: Use a 3.75mm / US 5 circular needle with an 80cm / 32" length. Always select a needle size that results in the correct gauge after blocking to achieve the best results.

Essential Notions: To complete this project, you will need a cable needle, a row counter (optional for tracking your progress), and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends.

Important Notes: The Mafadi wrap is worked flat, progressing from the bottom up. Each row is knitted twice: once with Yarn A and then again with Yarn B. This technique not only adds depth and texture but also enhances the visual appeal of the finished piece.

This beautifully designed wrap is not only a marvelous addition to your wardrobe but also an engaging knitting challenge to elevate your craft skills. Get started on your Mafadi wrap today!
