Rockport Wrap is that go to accessory! Classic, elegant with plenty of fun…just right for a day trip, sitting by the shore, or an evening out!
Rockport Wrap has a nautical vibe, with relaxing ribbed right twists alternating with a garter slip pattern. You can cruise into vacation mode wherever you enjoy knitting and sport a classic and elegant wrap when you reach your destination.

Pattern sample is knit with fingering yarn, and I did use the full skein of the blue for 10 repeats, plus the final right twist rib pattern and border.
So, I recommend weighing yarn at start of the border and end of C1 right twist rib pattern to determine how much yarn you’ll need to complete the final right twisted rib pattern and border.

DK weight yarn could easily be substituted, but yardage required would vary and you may wish to adjust the needle size.
