Summer Love Wrap

This wrap is perfect to keep the chill away on a late summer evening. The stitch patterns (little arrowhead and feather) hint that Cupid may be nearby!

The wrap pictured measures 18 across and 60 long after blocking. Pattern: multiple of 11 plus 4

To knit wrap: Cast on 59 stitches loosely. Odd rows: repeat the instructions between the asterisks until there are 4 stitches left. Finish row as directed. Even rows: begin as directed for 4 stitches, then repeat the instructions between the asterisks to the end of the row. Continue knitting in pattern until wrap is is about 60 or desired length. Finishing: Weave in ends. To show off your lacework, be sure to block your wrap. For cotton, follow instructions for steam blocking in this article from Knitty.
