Nivalis wrap
Introducing our stunning full-size wrap, designed with a generously wide wingspan and ample depth to provide a snug and comfortable wrap around your body. This versatile knitting project features long ends that tie effortlessly into a knot behind your back, making it both stylish and functional. The wrap is thoughtfully constructed in two halves, allowing you to enjoy the creativity of working from the middle towards the ends. For those who prefer a different look, there's an option to knit just one half, add charming tassels, and transform it into a fashionable triangular shawl.
This beautiful wrap is knitted in garter stitch, showcasing two (or even three) sections of captivating inlay colourwork. This makes it a quick and easy project, perfect for beginner knitters looking to dive into the world of colourwork. It's an excellent introduction to inlay techniques, allowing you to create a stunning finished piece that you'll be proud to wear or gift.
Yarn Requirements for Each Half:
Main Colour (MC): Approximately 584 meters (639 yards) of any sport or DK weight yarn—or a combination of yarns—to match the gauge for a beautifully crafted wrap.
Contrast Colour (CC): About 38 meters (42 yards) of aran or bulky weight yarn for beautiful, dense colourwork, plus approximately 75 meters (82 yards) of lighter weight yarn held double to enhance the design.
Gauge:
To ensure the perfect fit, knitters should aim for a gauge of 20 stitches and 30 rows in a 10 cm (4 inch) square on 4.0 mm (US 6) needles, measured over garter stitch worked flat after blocking. This gauge will ensure your wrap has the right dimensions and drape, making it a cozy addition to your wardrobe.
With its elegant design and practical features, this full-size wrap is not just a knitting pattern but an opportunity to create a statement piece that blends comfort and style.
