The Netherlands Knit Wrap

This lightweight wrap features two lace stitches. The focal stitch is a fairly dramatic knit stitch that shows up nicely whether you are using solid, semi-solid or variegated yarn. It is a very elegant wrap without being difficult to knit. The border stitch is a slightly more "feminine" eyelet stitch, to offset the geometric focal stitch. The two stitches together create a lovely shawl that is quite easy to knit. The final size is 22 1/2 inches by 72 inches. There are also instructions for an optional edging contained within the pattern, should you want it edged. Skill Level: Beginner + - Intermediate (assuming a basic knowledge of lace knitting) The stitch patterns are both charted and written out line by line. The yarn used in the sample is Handmaiden's Casbah in colorway, Violetta.
