Off Tropic wrap is inspired by tropical vacation vibes. It is a sister pattern to Wine Not. The pattern might only look complicated, but actually, it is straightforward knitting. Only one color per row. Garter stitch and mosaic knitting that easy to memorize. Interesting construction and color blocking

Go Off Tropic by adding a playful pop of color you love to your everyday wardrobe.

The wrap is a parallelogram made out of triangles. Bite-sized pieces of knitting. You’ll make one, then pick up stitches for the next one, and so on. A slip stitch edging is worked on all sides of each section, which makes the outer edge neat and stretchy. Mosaic rows can be worked from written instructions or charts.
