The Reversible Slip-Stitch Gift Wrap can be knit to any size. Working this design results in a burlap-like stitch on one side and a very subtle diamond pattern on the reverse side. Both are equally beautiful, and I couldn’t decide which side I liked best to call it the right side. So, I made it reversible. Perfect for gifting a box of candy. After the gift is opened, the wrapper makes a perfect protective cover for a tablet or other device. Use any yarn you desire.

What better way is there to present a hand-knitted gift item than in a hand-knitted gift bag? The thoughtfulness that went into the knitted gift can be extended to the gift wrap, and this will enhance the recipient’s happiness and appreciation. Well-planned presentation adds to the joy of the gift-giving experience for the gifter as well as for the giftee. And who among us has cleaned up all that expensive wrapping paper after a holiday celebration and not thought about the wastefulness? We live in an age when people are growing more concerned and conscientious about environmental issues and the need to avoid pointless waste. Stash busting, another ecologically sound and responsible choice, is an important feature to consider when knitting gift wraps, as well. Use stash, yarns left-over from other projects, or reclaimed yarn from discarded garments and turn them into beautiful gift wrappings.
