Hilary’s inspiration Knitting
for this piece came from the idea of being wrapped in a cocoon. She

wanted something as organic as possible, which resulted in a wrap that is completely
seamless, symmetrical and reversible. It is not intended to be a fitted garment. Just drape
it around the body for a relaxing, warm, and comforting feeling!

2 stitches remain, M1R, k1, M1R, K1
Rnd 6: K1, M1L, k1, M1L, knit to end of round.

Repeat these two rounds 3 times more, for a total of 92 sts. Switch to 24” circulars.
Repeat the above two rounds 7 (9) more times, for a total of 148 (164) sts. Then begin
the following:

Rnd 7: K to one stitch before marker, M1R, k1, SM, k1, M1L, knit to last stitch before
beginning of round, M1R, k1
Rnd 8: K1, M1L, knit to end of round

Repeat rounds 7 & 8 once more, then knit 1 round - 156 (172) sts. Work these 3 rounds
(rnds 7, 8, and the knit round) 4 (6) more times, for a total of 172 (196) sts.

Knit 1 (4) round(s) even.

Bind off 86 (98) sts VERY loosely, and preferably on a needle as big as a 15 or 17. Cut
yarn, leaving tail to weave in. Place remaining 86 (98) stitches on holder or another set
of circular needles.

Repeat instructions for other half, cutting yarn leaving tail of at least 168” for kitchener
stitch.

Using kitchener stitch, holding work with wrong sides held together, graft together
remaining 86 stitches from each piece. This is a long kitchener seam, so be patient and
take it slowly. It’s hardest in the beginning when the yarn tail is so long, but it helps to
pull a large portion of the tail through the needle to shorten the overall length while you
work with it (just make sure you don’t double it into the kitchener seam). After every 10
stitches or so, check your tension and adjust as necessary.

Optional tie:
CO 6 stitches and work i-cord until tie measures 58” or desired length.

Weave in all ends and block to stretch into shape.
