Not All Who Wander
Are you a wanderer at heart? Do you find joy in rambling aimlessly, or do you prefer a more predictable knitting journey? This versatile wrap pattern offers you the freedom to explore your creativity. You have the power to choose the yarn, control the drape of the fabric, and decide how much— or how little— you want to wander.
Designed to accommodate gauges ranging from 16 to 28 stitches per 4 inches in garter stitch, this wrap pattern is adaptable to your preferences. Begin by working a garter stitch swatch using your desired yarn and needle size to discover the fabric that best resonates with your style. Once you've found the perfect combination, simply use the instructions tailored for that specific gauge.
For a generously sized wrap measuring 20 inches by 65 inches, here’s the yardage you'll need based on your chosen yarn weight:
- Fingering Weight: 800-1200 yards
- Sport Weight: 700-900 yards
- DK Weight: 600-800 yards
- Worsted Weight: 500-700 yards
The needle size will vary with each project; be sure to pick the size that produces the fabric you love with your selected yarn. The beauty of this wrap lies in its eyelet paths, which can be customized to suit your style:
- * Wander Predictably: All eyelet paths zigzag in a regular, organized pattern
- * Wander Together: All eyelet paths stay parallel to each other, although the direction they all take is chosen randomly for a delightful surprise
- * Wander Like Crazy: Each path’s direction is randomly determined, leading to exciting overlaps, crosses, and diversions—who knows where your knitting journey will take you!
This wrap pattern not only allows for creative expression but also makes for a perfect gift or a cozy addition to your wardrobe. Dive into the world of knitting with this adaptable pattern and let your creativity wander! The possibilities are endless, and the results are sure to be breathtaking.
