This pattern is FREE.

It is my way of apologising for how many pages this pattern runs over (10). I try to write my patterns so they are easy to ‘line by line’ follow. I lost the will to live when trying to format this on to fewer pages but while still keeping it readable. Hopefully the simplicity of the instructions will make up for the number of pages.

If you still wish to support me, do feel free to pop one of my other patterns into your basket but regardless I do hope you’ll enjoy this wrap.

No code needed.

Simple stitches, striking lines…

Born from the long, spaced-out queues of lockdown days, the Lining Up Wrap transforms a memory of distance into something warm, comforting, and deeply wearable.

Worked in 4ply/fingering weight yarn with just 90g of each of two contrasting colours, this wrap is rhythmic and relaxing to knit — the very definition of Netflix knitting.

Only one colour is ever used at a time, creating bold, graphic lines with minimal fuss.

Light, drapey, and versatile, the Lining Up Wrap is perfect for stash-busting those special skeins or pairing favourite contrasts. Notes are included for a DK version too.

Whether you wear it as a wrap or a generously sized scarf, it’s destined to become a year-round favourite.

Skills Used …

• Long tail cast on.
• Knit and purl stitches.
• Decreasing (K2TOG, K3TOG, P2TOG, SSK).
• Slip stitches
• Increasing (M1R)

You will need the following …

• 4 ply / Fingering : Approx. 90g each of two contrasting colours • 4mm* (6) needles, 80cm cable (you are not knitting in the round but your wrap will be too long to work comfortably on a straight needle).
• 8 stitch markers.
• Tapestry needle (the sewing those dreaded ends in).

(Or size required to obtain gauge)

Gauge and Size …

I’m going to upset the purist and say that a gauge swatch is not essential. This is a wrap not a fitted garment.

However, if you’re so inclined - Using 4mm (US 6) needles : 27 stitches and 36 rows (4 inch / 10 cm Garter Stitch worked flat).

Aggressive blocking is not essential for this wrap but you should end up with a finished garment size of approximately 30cm wide and 160cm long.

If you like the look of this pattern it would be a huge help to me if you would give it a ‘like’ here on Ravelry as I have an overflowing notebook of ideas and this helps me understand what to work on next. Your support of my little dream is so appreciated. Every ‘like’ helps and it’s a known fact I do a tiny happy dance each time I get a notification. I am a terrible dancer!
