The Glenhost Wrap
Discover the joy of knitting with our beautifully designed wrap pattern, perfect for adding a stylish touch to your wardrobe. This wrap is uniquely constructed by starting from a narrow point, utilizing an innovative technique where stitches increase on one side while decreasing on the opposite edge. This method artfully crafts a triangular shape with elongated points, allowing you to wrap it elegantly around your neck or secure it with a tie or pin. The eye-catching stripes are knitted using a textural stitch that results in a wonderfully reversible fabric, providing versatility for any outfit. The combination of a luxurious blended alpaca and wool yarn knitted at a loose gauge yields an incredibly soft fabric that boasts beautiful drape and comfort.
Materials
Yarn:
You will need 2 skeins of Americo Original Winter Flamme, with one skein in each color: 6087 Bordeaux and K218 Petrol Blue. This yarn consists of 69% Superfine Alpaca and 31% wool, offering approximately 371 yards (340 meters) per 100 grams, perfect for creating a cozy wrap for any season.
Needles:
We recommend using 6 US (4 mm) circular needles with a 32 inch (80 cm) length for optimal results. For the cast-off, you may also utilize 10 US (6 mm) needles, although they are not strictly required. This flexibility allows for varying techniques based on your preference.
Notions:
To complete your project, gather a tapestry needle, stitch markers, and blocking tools. These helpful notions not only keep your work organized but also assist in achieving the perfect finishing touches for your wrap.
With this pattern, you can create a timeless accessory that is not only functional but also reflects your unique style. Whether you are an experienced knitter or just starting out, this project is a fantastic way to practice your skills while creating a beautiful piece to wear or gift. Happy knitting!
