Sundry
Introducing the Sundry Wrap, an elongated and asymmetrical wrap that beautifully combines the warmth and timeless style of a shawl with the versatility and wearability of a scarf. The name Sundry reflects the various or diverse elements of this unique design, which features two contrasting colors, two intricate stitch patterns, and endless styling possibilities to elevate your wardrobe.
Begin your crafting journey by casting on at the long, pointed end of the Sundry Wrap. The wrap showcases thoughtful shaping at both ends, allowing rows to grow wider with each stitch. Crafted in a stunning combination of solid garter stitch and eye-catching houndstooth slipstitch segments, this wrap utilizes two harmonious colors that contrast beautifully. The slipstitch colorwork, which can be easily executed using just one color per row, adds depth and texture, making your work stand out. To complete this elegant piece, a simple yet stylish picot bind off finishes the long straight end, giving it a refined touch.
Techniques & Skills Used: The Sundry Wrap incorporates a variety of knitting techniques, including cable cast-on (CO), knit stitches, increasing and decreasing, slipstitch colorwork, and picot bind off (BO). For your convenience, the slipstitch pattern is provided in both written and charted formats, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels.
Yarn: This exquisite wrap is designed using String Theory Hand Dyed Yarn Selku (50% Silk, 50% Merino; 375 yards/113g). You will need just 1 skein of your main color (MC) and 1 skein of your contrasting color (CC). The sample shown is in the sophisticated shades of Pewter (MC) and Alexandrite (CC).
