Ruffles and Ridges Wrap

This beautifully crafted wrap is knit entirely in garter stitch, with delightful ruffles created through the innovative use of short rows. While the sample was knit using fingering weight yarn, this versatile pattern allows you to choose from a variety of yarn weights to suit your preference.

Depth: 11.5 inches at the center back, also lightly steam blocked to maintain its shape.
