Nivalis wrap is a sister design to my Nivalis pullover and features the same colourwork pattern of snowdrops as you’ll find on the bottom of the yoke.
The full size wrap has a generously wide wingspan and enough depth for a comfortable wrapping around the body. The long ends are easy to tie in a knot behind your back.
The wrap consists of two halves, both worked from the middle towards the ends. There is also an option to knit one half only, add tassels and use it as a triangular shawl.
The wrap is knit in garter stitch with two (or three) sections of inlay colourwork, which makes it a quick and easy beginner friendly project and a perfect introduction into inlay colourwork.
You can take a closer look at my sample and discover the design process, learn about how to choose the yarn and modification options in episode 31 of my podcast.
The pattern is written for one full size with the finished wingspan of ca. 316 cm (126.5 in) and depth (width) of ca. 58 cm (23 in) and an optional half size with ca. 158 cm (63.25 in) in length.
For each half:
MC: ca. 584 m (639 yds) of any other
sport/DK weight yarn or combination of yarns
to match the gauge.
CC: ca. 38 m (42 yds) of any aran/bulky weight yarn or combination of yarns to achieve a beautifully dense colourwork
and ca. 75 m (82 yds) of lighter weight held double.
∙ 4.0 mm (US 6) circular needles with 40-60 cm (16-24 in) long cable (or any other needles of your choice);
∙ a tapestry needle or a crochet hook to weave in the ends.
∙ 20 sts & 30 rows in 10 cm (4 in) on 4.0 mm (US 6) needles measured over garter stitch worked flat after blocking.
Adjust the needle sizes if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
