This wonderfully adaptable wrap features one-piece (seamless) construction and a fresh, bold approach to two classic traditions, combining the elegance of openwork lace with the strength of cables.

Non-identically reversible, the result is strikingly attractive and useful, as well as a pleasure to knit, with a much simpler (and soon familiar) pattern repeat than the complex-appearing result might lead one to believe.

In fact, the only difficult thing about creating this gorgeous piece as a gift is parting with it!

Note on Yarn: Shown in South West Trading Company Saphira 100% Superwash Merino Wool, a smooth-finish single-ply solid-color or tonal-colorway yarn, in Color 579 (bright-yellow hues), an appendix to the pattern provides non-wool options and other alternative yarn choices.

Note on Needles: In addition to US Size 10.5 needles (or size necessary to attain desired gauge; straight or circular used as straight), this pattern also requires a cable needle (in type or style of knitter’s individual preference), and a large-eyed yarn needle (for finishing).
