Pyramids Lace Wrap
This delightful lightweight wrap knitting pattern is perfect for cool spring and fall evenings, and it’s also a great companion for those sensitive to air conditioning during the summer months. Featuring a unique lace stitch that is both airy and textured, this wrap boasts an exquisite, dimensional design with open and closed areas that showcase the beauty of lace knitting. The lace stitch is highlighted in both written instructions and chart form, making it easy for knitters to follow along.
The finished dimensions of the wrap are 21 inches by 72 inches, providing ample coverage for cozy evenings or stylish layering. For those who desire a more pronounced texture, the pattern includes detailed instructions for enhancing the dimensional aspects and increasing the size of the wrap to suit personal preferences. Additionally, an optional crocheted edging is outlined for those looking to add a finished touch to their project, though no crochet hooks are necessary if you choose to skip this step.
This wrap is suited for intermediate knitters who have a foundational understanding of lace knitting techniques. You'll find that most heavyweight fingering or sport weight yarns will work beautifully with this pattern, as long as you can achieve a gauge of 5 stitches per inch in the lace stitch when moderately blocked. For my project, I used US #5 (3.75mm) needles, which helped create the perfect drape and texture.
Whether you're looking to create a stunning accessory for yourself or gift a handmade piece to a loved one, this lightweight wrap knitting pattern is a fantastic choice. Dive into the world of lace knitting and enjoy the artistry of creating a piece that is both functional and fashionable!
