Worked in 4ply/fingering weight yarn with just 90g of each of two contrasting colours, this wrap is rhythmic and relaxing to knit — the very definition of Netflix knitting. Only one colour is ever used at a time, creating bold, graphic lines with minimal fuss. Light, drapey, and versatile, the Lining Up Wrap is perfect for stash-busting those special skeins or pairing favourite contrasts. Notes are included for a DK version too. Whether you wear it as a wrap or a generously sized scarf, it’s destined to become a year-round favourite. ***Skills Used ...*** > * Long tail cast on. > * Knit and purl stitches. > * Decreasing (K2TOG, K3TOG, P2TOG, SSK). > * Slip stitches > * Increasing (M1R) ***You will need the following ...*** > * 4 ply / Fingering : Approx. 90g each of two contrasting colours > • 4mm* (6) needles, 80cm cable (you are not knitting in the round but your wrap will be too long to work comfortably on a straight needle). > * 8 stitch markers. > * Tapestry needle (the sewing those dreaded ends in). > > *(Or size required to obtain gauge) ***Gauge and Size ...*** > >I’m going to upset the purist and say that a gauge swatch is not essential. This is a wrap not a fitted garment. > >However, if you’re so inclined - Using 4mm (US 6) needles : 27 stitches and 36 rows (4 inch / 10 cm Garter Stitch worked flat). > >Aggressive blocking is not essential for this wrap but you should end up with a finished garment size of approximately 30cm wide and 160cm long.
