Materials Needed

• Yarn: Lightweight cotton yarn
• Needles: US 6 (4.0 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches in lace pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 120 stitches. Ensure that your stitches are not too tight, as you will need some flexibility for the lace pattern.
2. Row 1: Knit all stitches across the row. This establishes the base of your wrap.
3. Row 2: Purl all stitches across the row. This will create a nice contrast to the knit row and help define the lace pattern.
4. Row 3: This is where the lace pattern begins. Work the following stitch sequence:
   • *Knit 2 stitches together (K2tog), then yarn over (yo); repeat from * to the end of the row.
   This creates the lovely wave effect in your wrap.
5. Row 4: Knit all stitches across the row. This will help to set the lace pattern and give it a nice finish.
6. Repeat: Continue repeating Rows 1 through 4 until the wrap measures 60 inches in length. Make sure to check your measurements periodically to ensure consistency.
7. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off your stitches loosely to maintain the elasticity of the wrap. A tight bind-off can make the edges curl, so be gentle.
8. Finishing Touches: Weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle to give your wrap a clean finish. Finally, block your wrap to the measurements of approximately 18 inches in width and 60 inches in length. This will enhance the lace pattern and give it a beautiful drape.
