Red River Wrap

Discover the charm of the Twin Cities of Pineville and Alexandria through our beautifully crafted knitting pattern, inspired by the picturesque landscapes and vibrant community of this region. Nestled along the iconic Red River, which serves as both a connector and divider of these two cities, this area has become my second home. This pattern is thoughtfully designed for the wonderful friends I’ve made here, making it a perfect gift or personal project.

This intricately worked rectangular wrap or scarf is not only functional but also artistic, featuring three exquisite lace patterns that transition seamlessly from one to the next. The design showcases delicate lace trees symbolizing the pines of Pineville, fluid chevron waves representing the churning waters of the Red River, and classic herringbone blocks reminiscent of the charming brick streets of Alexandria. Each stitch tells a story of these vibrant locales.
