Ruth Kettering Wrap
This stunning wrap is designed to be worked from a narrow starting point, creating a beautiful asymmetrical triangle that elegantly drapes around your neck. The unique construction involves increasing stitches on one side while decreasing at a slower rate on the opposite edge, resulting in a visually pleasing shallow triangle with one extra-long point. This versatile wrap is perfect for cozying up during chilly evenings or adding a pop of color to any outfit. As a beginner-friendly knit, this pattern is suitable for any knitter who is comfortable with simple shaping techniques.
The design features charming stripes worked in a reversible textural stitch, adding depth and interest to your finished piece. With the exception of one row in the pattern repeat, all rows are composed of easy-to-work knit stitches, making this project both enjoyable and relaxing. The pattern offers a detailed three-colour version, allowing you to explore creative combinations, while also providing ample guidance to adapt it into a fabulous stash-busting version using your leftover yarns.
Additionally, the included picot stitch on all edges not only enhances the overall look of the wrap but also simplifies the finishing process. This technique provides an ideal spot to properly bury any loose ends that may arise from working with multiple colors, ensuring a polished final product. Whether you're an established knitter or just beginning your crafting journey, this easy knit wrap will quickly become a favorite handmade accessory.
