NOTES

  • You will knit this entire pattern holding together one strand of all three yarns.

  • Because this wrap is in reverse stockinette, the purl side of the fabric is the “right side”. Throughout the pattern I will refer to the sides of the fabric as the “knit side” and the “purl side” to avoid confusion.
