Sunstone Multi-Wrap

Sunstone Multi-Wrap by Two of Wands

What Is Being Made

The Sunstone Multi-Wrap is a versatile triangular shawl designed by Two of Wands. This downloadable knitting pattern creates a wrap measuring 18 inches wide by 72.5 inches long, making it an ideal accessory for layering, draping, or wrapping. The three-section construction—beginning with a point, expanding to full width, then tapering back to a point—creates a elegant multi-wrap silhouette suitable for various styling options.

Techniques and Construction Method

This beginner-friendly pattern employs fundamental shaping techniques to achieve its distinctive triangular form. The wrap is worked flat end to end, meaning you knit from one end to the other in a single piece rather than working in the round. The construction is divided into three distinct sections:

• An increase section that gradually expands from a single point to the full working width
• A straight section worked without shaping at the maximum width
• A decrease section that gradually tapers back down to a point

This three-part structure creates visual interest and allows the wrap to be worn multiple ways. The pattern uses standard slip-stitch techniques at the beginning of rows, with all stitches slipped purlwise for a neat, finished edge.

Stitches Used

The Sunstone Multi-Wrap utilizes a range of essential knitting stitches appropriate for a beginner-level project:

• Stockinette stitch forms the primary fabric, created by alternating knit rows on the right side with purl rows on the wrong side
• Increase stitches including M1l (make 1 left) and M1r (make 1 right) for shaping the expanding sections
• Decrease stitches such as K2tog (knit 2 together), K3tog (knit 3 together), SSK (slip, slip, knit), and S2KP (slip 2 stitches together knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitches over) for tapering the wrap back to points
• Slip stitches used at row beginnings for edge definition
• Basic knit and purl stitches throughout

Materials and Specifications

The Sunstone Multi-Wrap requires 3 skeins of Lion Brand Truboo in Tan (color 837-123), a DK weight yarn (also classified as light worsted, weight 3) with 241 yards per skein, totaling approximately 723 yards of yarn. You will need Size US 6 (4mm) knitting needles for working the pattern and a tapestry needle for finishing. The pattern is worked to a gauge of 22 stitches and 25 rows over 4 inches in stockinette stitch, which is essential to achieve the correct finished dimensions.
