Wisp Hill

Introducing the Wisp Hill wrap, a versatile and airy accessory perfect for any knitting enthusiast. This exquisite piece showcases the Ribbonwood motif, also featured in my popular Ribbonwood shawl and the soon-to-be-released Ribbonwood blanket. Ideal for adding a touch of elegance to your wardrobe, Wisp Hill is a must-try project that combines intricate design with practical wearability.

The design of Wisp Hill is crafted to elegantly transition from a stunning cabled lace at one end to a delicate pure lace at the other. These two distinct motifs beautifully intertwine in the middle, creating a harmonious look when wrapped around your neck. To start, the wrap utilizes a provisional cast-on at the cabled end, which is then picked up and knitted back in the opposite direction using the same lace motif that appears at the lace end. This clever technique enhances the design’s versatility and allows for a seamless flow from one style to another.

To ensure your cast-on is not too tight and to avoid losing any stitches, I highly recommend working the provisional end early in the project with a second ball of yarn. Once you delve into the lace half of the wrap, you’ll find the piece moves along swiftly, thanks to the engaging repeating motif. One of the standout features of this pattern is its adaptability; due to its unique construction method, you can easily customize the length of the wrap. Simply increase or reduce the number of repeats of Chart F to create the perfect size for your needs.

Whether you’re an experienced knitter or a beginner looking for a challenge, the Wisp Hill wrap offers endless possibilities for creativity. Dive into this delightful knitting project and enjoy the satisfaction of creating a stunning piece that is not only functional but also a true work of art.
