A reversible wrap knitting pattern
This beautiful, checkerboard-patterned wrap will be a go-to for everyday use.
The Snowberry Wrap is an Americo favourite! If you have mastered the knit and purl stitches, you can knit this wrap. The checkerboard pattern adds visual interest to an otherwise simple design, and it has the added benefit of making the wrap reversible. Unlike a wrap knit in plain stocking stich, the Snowberry Wrap lies flat and that the edges do not curl.
When you have finished knitting your wrap, make sure to block it by wetting it with water and laying it flat to dry. For best results, lay the wrap on top of a blocking mat or towels and place pins around the edges. When the wrap is dry, the stitches will look beautifully even and the checkerboard pattern will clearly stand out.
