Immersion Wrap

ABOUT The unususal shape of Immersion Wrap is the answer to my wish for a meditation blanket that wouldn’t slide down my shoulders, even when sitting still for a long time. Another criterion was to make it stylish enough to wear outside, so I don’t have to pack too much in my yoga bag. The result is this versatile design: an elegant, striking scarf when worn around the neck, and a warm, cape-like wrap when draped over the shoulders and back. And it really stays in place. The fitted shape is achieved through a mix of simple techniques which create a three-dimensional effect, making each knitting session relaxed and meditative. The bouncy drape of the pleated garter fabric makes this wrap delightful to wear – whether you’re on the go or at home. **Description** This cozy meditation wrap is shaped through a mix of different techniques which provide a cape-like fit on the shoulders without slipping or much draping. **Techniques** The wrap is mainly worked in garter stitch with ribbed sections, twisted stitches and short row shaping. **Dimensions** The finished scarf measures about 165 cm x 55 cm / 65 x 21,5“ without washing and blocking. *It is recommended to leave the finished piece unwashed since the fabric relaxes through washing so the texture would would loose its tension.* **Gauge** 24 sts x 36 rows = 10 cm / 4“ in garter stitch on 3,5 mm / US 4 needles. The knitted fabric should be rather firm. **Yarn** Sport or DK weight yarn, preferrably non-superwash merino About 400 g / 800 m (875 yds) **Needles** 3,5 mm / US 4 and 3 mm / US 2,5 circular needles in 80 cm / 31“ length **Notions** Tapestry needle **Skill level** Beginner-friendly
