Lost Treasure Wrap
Embrace your favorite colorway! The Lost Treasure wrap incorporates slip stitches to showcase variegated yarns without color pooling. The pop of a contrast stripe in the garter sections as well as in the textured sections adds interest and marries the color transitions. This wrap is a wonderful way to take advantage of the variegated yarns we love!
Set at an intermediate skill level the pattern uses knit, purl, and slip stitches as well as increases and decreases on each end of a right side row. It is an easy, relaxing knit with enough variety and color changes to keep it interesting.
