Passiflora wrap
In the summer, I absolutely love to unwind on my balcony while indulging in my favorite pastime: knitting. Inspired by the enchanting climbing Passiflora, which instinctively reaches out for spaciousness, I've designed this beautiful wrap that provides that extra comfort in the back, perfect for relaxing or stylish outings.
This wrap is not only easy to make, but it’s also a delight to knit. It lays perfectly on your shoulders, providing a cozy embrace. The main "body" of this generous wrap is worked in the round, creating a seamless flow. You'll decrease some stitches to shape the wrap, then transition to the "skirt" portion, which is knit back and forth using simple yet engaging lace increases. The best part? There's no need to pick up any stitches, making this wrap beginner-friendly and enjoyable for knitters of all levels. You can continue the skirt for as long as you like or until your yarn runs out, allowing for customization and creativity.
My goal with this knitting pattern was to achieve that delicate balance between calm, meditative knitting and an engaging project that’s never boring. As a dear friend remarked, it’s “just right for the kind of knitting I seem to have settled into; not too simple, not too fancy, and incredibly wearable.” This wrap is perfect for everything from casual outings to special occasions.
Additionally, I’ve included a detailed percentage guide for the yarn used in each part of the pattern. This is particularly helpful for those who wish to experiment with using more, less, or a different yarn than the one used in the sample. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a newbie looking for a delightful project, this Passiflora-inspired wrap pattern is sure to be a cherished addition to your knitting repertoire.
