Take your needles for a wander through the Enchanted Forest with this lacy, cozy wrap. As you knit each row, shapes start to form through leafy lace and glades of stockinette, both working together to bring a wonderland of tall trees that decorate the wrap from start to finish.

Depending on how you wear it, you will either display trees of solid stockinette, showing off all of the colours in your yarn, or you will see the lace stitches cutting through and creating an outline of a tree with branches.

This wrap was originally designed as a Yarn Advent pattern for use with 25 x 10g mini-skeins that fade into each other. The pattern is written to use 2 x 100g / 425m skeins of sock or 4ply yarn, however notes on how to adapt the pattern for use with 10g or 20g mini-skeins are included.

This pattern works beautifully with a semi-solid or lightly variegated yarn.
