Equally useful for cool spring or autumn evenings, this wrap has already come in handy! Last weekend Mum and Dad and I visited Napier to see my brother and his crew, and my sister-in-law Colleen modelled my Hextile Wrap on the beach like a pro. The sun went down just as we finished the last photo.
I designed the Hextile Wrap to make the most of two lovely skeins of sock yarn I've been saving - Miss Click Clack's Fenwick Street Flashmerino (made up of 85% extrafine merino and 15% nylon) in 'Melbourne Black'. The wrap's open mesh panels and bias-knit construction work together to produce a surprisingly large wrap from just two skeins.
The stitch pattern is fast, easy, and intuitive once you get the hang of the structure - the mesh is the simplest kind of lace (just yarn-overs and k2togs), and all wrong-side rows are plain knit rows. I found it a great project to accompany tv and podcasts.
Features:
- an all-over geometric pattern of mesh lace triangles
- intuitive and easy to knit
- knit on the bias from end to end
- easy to enlarge by adding extra repeats to the length and/or width
- requires two skeins of fingering-weight or sock yarn
- solid, semi-solid, or gradient-dyed yarn is ideal
- pattern includes full written instructions as well as charts.
You can see all the details and download the Hextile Wrap pattern via Ravelry, Loveknitting, or Craftsy.
