For 2026, all of my patterns will be FREE: I celebrate YOU the KNITTERS who find JOY in your knitting, who knit to keep yourself and others warm and SAFE, who celebrate COLOR and CREATE BEAUTY…all this and more in a world fraught with problems and sadness. YOU ARE AMAZING! THANK YOU!!

A simple, quick, and versatile wrap/shawl to give that toasty, warm, and safe feeling. The button placement makes it wearable in multiple positions—one of which will work under a jacket (important in Iowa!). This wrap is knit back and forth on single point straight needles or on a 24” circular needle using a repetitive wave-like pattern that easily can be memorized. The cable pattern is bordered on either side by a 3-row seed stitch pattern that prevents curling and keeps the finished wrap flat. Pattern explains how to add the button such that it easily can be removed for washing.

Note: the same design knit with DK yarn on 3.75 mm/US 5 needles creates a shawl/wrap perfect for a doll or teddy bear.
