This is one of my favourite wraps to wear.
It's made using Rowan 'Summer Tweed' - 70%silk/30% cotton mix.
My friend Lee is modelling it for me.
This wrap is shaped like a triangle
(scalene - means all 3 sides are different).
So the widest part goes over one shoulder, then flip the tip over your shoulder.
I put a long tassel on each point.
I like to use big needles with yarn that is thinner than recommended because the fabric then looks lacy with little effort.
I often get distracted, so lose my place & I can't follow patterns anyway.
It was fun to make & would be good for beginners as well.
You can also use this as a head & neck wrap if you get cold.
Here is how to make it.
What you need:
Pair of 8mm circular knitting needles
At least 3 or 4 balls of yarn - you will need some for the tassels
(It really depends on your tension - I'm a loose knitter)
I used Rowan Summer Tweed - colour 'STORM' - which is a 10ply (worsted or medium)
Tapestry needle to weave in ends.
How to make it:
Note; decrease in the second stitch not the first - you get a much better finish on the edge
Cast on 60 stitches.
Knit one whole row.
Knit one, then knit two together, then complete the row.
Turn the work & knit the next row without decreasing.
Follow this pattern until you only have one stitch left
Snip off the yarn & slip the end piece through the last stitch to tie it off.
Tassels
To make the tassels the same length as in the sample, I wrapped the yarn around a tissue box.
Wrap around the box approx 6 times then cut one side of the loop bundle.
Use the crochet hook to pull the wool through the tips of the scarf / wrap.
Take half of the lengths & loop through the end of the scarf.
