Who says a Rhinebeck sweater has to be a traditional sweater? With the Wrap & Run design, you can cozy up in a stylish wrap that leaves plenty of room for your favorite yarn (and perhaps a delicious fried artichoke as well—yum!). This innovative wrap is perfect for those chilly festival days.

The Wrap & Run is a generously sized square, skillfully split down the middle to create a comfortable space for your head. This versatile piece is crafted in two separate sections (the right and left sides) and is then meticulously joined at the top. From there, you'll knit the back downwards, resulting in a seamless and chic garment that is as functional as it is fashionable. This pattern is a fantastic choice for beginner knitters who are ready to step beyond basic shawls and tackle a more engaging project, as it primarily utilizes simple garter stitch, making it beginner-friendly.

For those looking to personalize their creation further, there is an option for a 3-needle bind-off at the shoulders. This allows for the piece to be made in three distinct sections, knitted from the bottom up, giving you the freedom to experiment with your knitting style. The design features an intentional asymmetry where the left side is slightly shorter than the right, enhancing the overall silhouette and ensuring a flattering fit. The cleverly offset stripes not only add visual interest but also elevate the elegance of this wrap. Wrap up in style and warmth with the Wrap & Run and show off your knitting skills at your next adventure!
