Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight, 100% wool
• Knitting Needles: US 8 (5mm)
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 180 stitches using the long tail cast-on method for a stretchy edge.
2. Garter Stitch Base: Work in garter stitch (knit every row) for 6 rows. This creates a stable foundation for your wrap.
3. Begin Mosaic Pattern:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): *K2, slip 1 with yarn in back; repeat from * to end of the row.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches across the row.
   • Row 3: *Slip 1 with yarn in back, K2; repeat from * to end of the row.
   • Row 4: Purl all stitches across the row.
4. Repeat Mosaic Pattern: Continue repeating Rows 1-4 until your work measures 60 inches or your desired length. Make sure to keep your tension consistent for an even pattern.
5. Finish with Garter Stitch: Once you reach the desired length, work in garter stitch for another 6 rows to create a neat edge.
6. Bind Off: Bind off your stitches loosely to ensure that the edge of your wrap remains flexible. Use a stretchy bind-off method if needed.
7. Weave in Ends: Using a tapestry needle, weave in any loose ends to tidy up your work.
8. Block Your Wrap: To achieve the best shape and drape, block your wrap to the specified measurements of approximately 20 inches wide and 60 inches long. This will enhance the texture and pattern of your wrap.
