Star Hopping wrap is a fun and easy knit. It is perfect for knitting in front of the TV, long road trips, or drinking wine! The repeats are short, intuitive, and easy to memorize. You only have to work with one color at a time as the slip stitches create a beautiful texture in the fabric.

You can use high-contrast colors, mid-range contrast, and low contrast. Solids with variegated, 2 semi-solids together, gradients, ombres. Do you have a hand-painted yarn, that is “being difficult” and doesn’t want to be anything but a colorful mess? That one can be tamed too! Just pair it with a contrasting solid and you’re good to go!

The size of the wrap is easy to adjust both in width (by casting on more or fewer stitches) and in length (by working more or fewer main body repeats). The pattern is very versatile and can be worked on a variety of bases, from fingering to DK weight.

The wrap is a rectangular shape, knitted sideways on a bias. The main body of the pattern can be worked from the written instructions or the chart.
