Product Description
When you grow up on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State the tides become a part of you. They are many, varied and timeless. Full tides, slack tides, king tides and rip tides – they come in and go out – endlessly. The pattern stitch used in this wrap is an elevenstitch sequence worked continuously without a break from one row to the next over multiples of eleven stitches plus four extra stitches. The extra four stitches cause the pattern stitch to morph over a 22-row repeat – like sands that are continually reworked by the endless tides.
Endless Tides Wrap by Celia Roberts
What is Being Made
The Endless Tides Wrap is a knitted wrap designed by Celia Roberts, inspired by the tidal patterns of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. This versatile accessory functions as both a scarf and wrap, available in three sizes to suit different preferences and styling needs. The Small measures 12 inches wide by 60 inches long, the Medium is 14 inches wide by 72 inches long, and the Large extends to 16 inches wide by 90 inches long. The wrap can be customized further by adjusting the number of rows or cast-on stitches to achieve desired dimensions.
Pattern Stitch and Design
The Endless Tides Wrap features a distinctive eleven-stitch pattern sequence that is worked continuously without interruption from one row to the next. The pattern is based on multiples of eleven stitches plus four extra stitches. These four additional stitches create a unique morphing effect across a 22-row repeat cycle, causing the pattern to shift and transform throughout the piece—much like sand continuously reworked by tidal movement. This thoughtful design element gives the wrap its thematic connection to the endless motion of ocean tides.
Techniques and Stitches Used
This wrap is designed as a beginner-friendly knitting project, utilizing only fundamental knitting techniques. The primary stitches employed are knit and purl stitches, making it accessible to knitters new to the craft. An optional crocheted crab stitch edging is available for those who wish to add a finished border detail, though this embellishment is not required to complete the project.
Materials and Yarn Requirements
The Endless Tides Wrap is designed to work with lightweight to medium-weight yarns, accommodating multiple yarn weights including 3-ply, 4-ply, DK (Double Knit), and sport weight options. This flexibility allows knitters to choose yarns based on personal preference, fiber content, and desired drape and texture of the finished wrap. The pattern is provided as a downloadable PDF format for convenient access and printing.
