The Stairway wrap is a companion through the season and can be worn all year round: casually draped over a linen summer dress, as a personal touch and statement over a denim jacket, and to bundle up and keep the chill away in winter.
The large rectangular wrap is knit sideways (from short to short side) in two-color brioche and garter stitch. The stairway pattern, which is a variation of a chevron pattern, is created by switching between the two textures. The two-color design is reversible, with the lighter color dominating the front and the darker color dominating the back. The border is knit as a folded hem on the short sides and double-knit selvedge on the long sides, in reverse colors to the shawl’s main part. It is a wonderfully neat framework to the design and adds finished lines to the corners while requiring minimal finishing work.
The pattern is filled with fun techniques – from the provisional cast-on for the folded border, the ever-changing combination of two-color brioche and garter stitch, the double-knit border to the three-needle bind-off at the very end – you will not be bored.
