Step 1
TO MAKE
The wrap is knitted in a single piece, beginning at the back hem and ending at the front hem.
Back | On a 10mm circular needle, cast on 86 stitches and work 5cm (2in) in knit 1 purl 1 rib. Then work from the chart and keep repeating rows 1–12. -
Step 2
Start the round with 2 stitches for the start of the pattern, then work 14 repeats of the 6 stitches between the arrows.
Neck opening | When work measures approximately 75cm (30in), after an 8th row of the chart, cast off the centre 10 stitches.
Fronts | Finish the right and left fronts separately. Leave the stitches for the left front on a stitch holder and start with the right front. Continue the chart pattern as started on the back and work over 6 repeats plus 2 stitches for the pattern at the start of the row. When work measures 145cm (58in), nish with 5cm (2in) in knit 1 purl 1 rib.
Work the left front in the same way. -
Step 3
Finishing | Darn in all the ends.
