Follow this simple recipe to choose yarns and create your own one-off wrap. Rib Fest is a shallow triangle knit from the top down, with garter ridges and a slip stitch rib border. It is designed to maximize the impact of a small quantity of unique yarn, such as handspun, by highlighting it against a background of commercial yarn.

Yarn A--any weight between super fine (1) and chunky (5), at least 90 yds.
Yarn B--same weight as Yarn A (or a little lighter), 2 to 2.5 times longer than Yarn A
