Free pattern for an elegant cashmere wrap
Posted By Kent Crafts on May 9, 2010
Late last year, just before the winter, I was looking for an elegant wrap that I could use in the evenings but also during the day for when it was a little milder. I didn’t manage to find one, but instead I found this beautiful pattern online, from Crafts Beautiful. This wrap is long, with lovely tassles and knitted using Sublime cashmere merino silk double knit wool. I’ve actually made two now, and the third is just about to be started – and they’re all different colours. As I was so pleased with the results, I’ve decided to add them to our store, even though they’ll be rather expensive with the price of cashmere being what it is. There are many people who won’t have the time to knit this for themselves I’m sure!
This particular wrap is knitted in a moss stitch – and as it’s so long and the wool is fine with small needles, this took absolutely ages – but I have to say this was well worth the effort and I’m really pleased with the results on each one. This is a very easy knit, with little to no pattern reading required and is sure to be a popular gift, even if it’s for yourself. I’ll be sure to update this post once the wraps become available on our main storefront.
