Wide ribbing knit on circular needles becomes an appealing Moebius Wrap with a final twist. Designer Marlaine DesChamps gives us a beautifully draped shoulder hugging wrap in Simply Soft®. Once you finish knitting the simple ribbed rectangle, just twist one end before joining. The technique is easy and the effect is gorgeous!

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Circumference: 30 1/2”/77.5cm
Length: 18”/45.5cm
Note: Because of ribbing, Wrap will easily stretch to 40”/101.5cm circumference. As Wrap circumference stretches, the length will shorten slightly.
