Whitewater Wrap
Introducing the Whitewater Wrap, an exquisite knitting pattern inspired by the breathtaking Wairere Falls located in Whakat?ne, New Zealand. Creating this wrap will transport you back to your childhood memories of climbing the rocks by the waterfall. Featuring a stunning design, half of the wrap showcases a fluid lace pattern reminiscent of the graceful movement of cascading water, where the stitches shift direction and beautifully catch the light. In contrast, the other half of the wrap is crafted in classic garter stitch, providing a soothing and restful complement to the dynamic lace section.
Skills & Techniques: This pattern is perfect for knitters looking to hone their skills in simple lace knitting. You’ll use essential techniques including knit (k), purl (p), yarn overs (yo), knit two together (k2tog), and slip slip knit (ssk). The intuitive stitch pattern makes it easy to follow, and all wrong side (WS) rows consist solely of knit and purl stitches, making it accessible for beginners and enjoyable for experienced knitters alike.
Materials Needed: To create your own Whitewater Wrap, you'll need 3 skeins of Wren & Ollie Sock Yarn, which is a lovely blend of 85% superwash merino and 15% nylon, offering a cozy feel with durability. Each skein provides 437 yards (400 meters) of fingering-weight yarn, totaling 1,235 yards (about 1,130 meters) for the entire wrap. We recommend using the sample colorway ‘Glisten’ for a shimmering effect that mimics sunlight dancing on water.
Finished Measurements: The Whitewater Wrap measures an impressive 75.5 inches (192 cm) at its longest point, with a width of 23 inches (58.5 cm). You have the flexibility to customize the size of your wrap by easily adding or subtracting repeats; every 6-stitch repeat adjustment will also change the overall length by 24 rows, allowing you to create the perfect wrap for your style.
Both charts and detailed written instructions are provided in full, ensuring that you can easily follow along regardless of your preferred knitting method. Dive into the soothing rhythm of lace knitting and experience the joy of creating your very own Whitewater Wrap, a beautiful piece that captures the essence of nature’s tranquility.
