Travertine Wrap by Maia Discoe simple yet striking wrap is designed to be a fast and fun knit. It's made from worsted weight so the stitching goes very quickly and you end up with a super squishy shawl. The main fabric is simple garter stitch, with stripes throughout and a section of short row shaping at each end for a bit of flair making it super fun to style in a variety of ways, more so than a plain rectangular wrap. The short rows also help the wrap to stay on your shoulders. The stripes are designed in such a way that there's only ends to weave in at the very beginning and end of your work!
This pattern is appropriate for an Advanced Beginner. Basic skills required include casting on, short rows, and binding off. It uses US 9 / 5.5mm x 32 inches long circular needles, or size need to get gauge.
The yarns used are Cedar House Yarns Old Growth Worsted (Warm Colors Version)
100% Superwash Merino (sadly no longer in business) and Deluxe Worsted Superwash (Cool Colors Version). You will need 2 skeins of the main color (200g), 1 skein of contrast color 1 (100g), and 1 skein of contrast color 2 (100g). You can find kits for the original yarns used in this pattern by clicking here.
This shawl would be great worked in any worsted weight wool or wool blend yarn, or even go stash diving and make a scrappy version!
