This rectangular wrap is knit from the top down in three colors and features three mosaic stitch patterns followed by wide stripes of color separated by garter stitch eyelets. It is a design that’s suitable for a man’s wide scarf or a unisex wrap, and is a relatively easy knit that’s accessible to confident beginners. The piece may be made wider if the knitter chooses.
