BLANKET WRAP OVERVIEW

This wrap is perfect for cool summer evenings when you want to get cozy. I used cotton and merino yarn, which is great for spring and summer projects.

This wrap has a rectangle shape and it is knit flat in rows from the bottom up. The wrap has garter stitch borders on its sides and features a lace pattern in the middle – large diamonds and delicate lace stripes.

It uses circular needles in order to hold all of the stitches.

Finished size after blocking: ~ 67cm/26” x 186cm/73”

Gauge: 21 stitches x 28 rows = 10 x 10cm (4 x 4″ ) in stockinette after blocking.

Row 2 and all WS rows: K4, P until the last 4 stitches, K4.

Row 3: Right border, *Next row of Diamond pattern, Lace pattern* repeat 1 more time, Next row of Diamond pattern, Left border.

Row 4 and all WS rows: K4, P until the last 4 stitches, K4.

Repeat rows 3 and 4 18 more times to work a full diamond repeat. Continue in the established pattern until you have 13 diamond repeats.

You can work more or fewer repeats if you want to change the length of the wrap.

Work row 1 of the pattern one more time, so the last diamond has a finished look with a yarn over at its top. 

Top border

The top border is worked as the bottom border over 10 rows in garter stitch:

Row 1-10: K all sts.

Bind off

Bind off knitwise:

Step 1 (WS): K2, bring the first stitch over the second one.

Step 2: K1, bring the first stitch over the second one

Repeat step 2 until you have 1 stitch left, cut the yarn leaving a 4″ – 6” tail to weave in later. Draw the yarn tail through the last stitch and pull it snug.

You will find a detailed tutorial on how to bind off knitting HERE.

Weave in all loose ends. Wet or steam block the wrap so that it lays flat.
