Wrap with Pockets

Introducing a cozy rectangle shawl wrap featuring handy pockets, perfect for knitters who love to stay warm and organized. This versatile and comfortable piece is affectionately referred to as a reader wrap, making it an ideal companion for curling up with a good book.

The unique shape of the shawl allows it to effortlessly drape over your shoulders, ensuring it remains in place as you move. The integrated pockets add an extra layer of functionality, allowing you to safely store your notions, tissues, and other little treasures—so you'll never lose your essentials again!

This quick knit utilizes a bulky yarn that provides a delightful fuzzy texture, making your knitting experience both satisfying and engaging. The shawl is crafted lengthwise in a single piece, showcasing a smooth stockinette stitch with lovely seed stitch edges. To enhance its practicality, the pockets are knit separately using a charming dot stitch and then sewn onto the wrap for a polished finish.

Available in three sizes—Petite, Average, and Tall—this cozy wrap measures 21” wide and is 57”, 60”, or 63” long, catering to a variety of body types. The pattern requires 5, 6, or 6 skeins of Yarn Bee Tender Touch (135 yards/85g; 100% Acrylic) in the beautiful #132 Periwinkle shade. Alternatively, you can use 675, 750, or 800 yards of any chunky weight yarn that meets the gauge specifications.

For this project, you'll need US 10 (6mm) straight needles or 24-32” circular needles, depending on your preference or what you have on hand. Make sure to achieve the gauge of 12.5 stitches and 16 rows = 4” in stockinette to ensure your shawl fits perfectly.

This delightful rectangle shawl wrap is an excellent addition to your knitting repertoire, offering both style and convenience. Treat yourself to the joy of knitting, and stay warm and stylish as the cooler months approach! Grab the pattern now and experience the perfect combination of comfort and creativity!
