NOTES

• This wrap is worked back and forth in rows from end to end.

• A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.

• The charts are worked using the stranded method. Always pick up the background color over the pattern color and pick up the pattern color from under the background color. Keep floats loose. For floats longer than four stitches, tack stranded yarn on wrong side of work.

• Break the yarn when the color won’t be used for more than three rows.

• To work the main color (MC) border on rows which do not use MC in the charted section, work three border stitches with MC, then break MC. At the end of the row, join MC and work three border stitches.

• When working Charts B and D, the odd-numbered rows will alternate between being right-side rows and being wrong side rows. On the first, third, fifth, and seventh times worked, odd rows are right-side rows. On the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth times worked, odd rows are wrong-side rows.
