With cooler weather on the way, I was inspired to design a stylish and affordable wrap perfect for our SW Florida fall and winter months. I was determined to use only one skein per wrap because I had picked up a single cake each of four colors of Lion Brand Mandala Yarn some weeks ago and just knew these would be perfect to making a little something pretty to keep the chill away. It turns out these wraps are quick to make and look good enough to gift this holiday season. With the 16 fun color ways in Mandala Yarn collection and the four styles of wrap, you’re guaranteed to create a one-of-a-kind garment anyone will love.

Gauge is not critical but in order to achieve the desired length with a single cake of yarn, take care that 4 rows of sc alternated with 3 rows of trc, ch2 is not much less than 4”.

The skill level for the Rectangular Wrap is a beginner pattern and the other three are easy. You must be familiar with working chainless beginning stitches, working decrease and increase stitches and basic edging techniques.

If you are not familiar with the chainless trc, there are a few variations with tutorials you can find with a Google search, or use a ch 3 and trc in the fist stitch.
