Stashbusters & spinners, here’s your next project. Sundial Wrap turns mini skeins, advent sets, handspun, and colorful scraps into a wearable textile that still feels cohesive. Each stripe uses only about 14 grams of fingering weight yarn, so you can mix freely while the structure of the pattern keeps everything looking intentional.

Sundial uses mosaic knitting, worked one color per row with knits and slipped stitches only. The interlocked motif looks complex but the knitting stays straightforward, and the fabric grows quickly once you settle into it.

Design Details

Sundial is knit flat on the bias using two-color garter mosaic. The diagonal construction gives the wrap movement and drape while crisp i-cord edges frame the fabric cleanly.

You can easily customize both width and length, and the pattern includes clear guidance for changing colors so you can relax and let your yarn choices lead. Add tassels at the end or leave the edges clean depending on your style.

Pattern Highlights

• Only one color per row so colorwork stays easy to manage
• Small stripes that let you use treasured leftovers
• Clear structure that makes mixed yarns look cohesive
• Engaging knitting that becomes very relaxing after a few repeats

Construction Overview

Sundial is worked flat on the bias. Increases and decreases shape the wrap while slipped stitches form the mosaic pattern. I-cord edges are worked as you go for a finished edge.

Yarn Notes

This is a true stash project. Mini skeins, leftovers, advent calendars, and handspun all work beautifully because the stripes are small and repeat often. Mosaic knitting naturally blends colors together so even unlikely combinations start to cooperate once they’re on the needles.

Handspun in particular shines here since each stripe gets a moment without needing a full skein commitment.

Needles & Gauge

Needles: US 6 (4.0 mm) 16–32” circular

Gauge (after wet blocking and lengthwise stretching):

• Stitch gauge: 27 sts per 4” (6.75 sts/in)
• Row gauge: 28 rows per 4” (7 rows/in)

Mosaic knitting compresses stitches horizontally and lengthens the fabric vertically, so blocking significantly affects the finished measurements. The pattern includes a schematic and instructions for adjusting stitch counts to achieve your preferred size.

Yardage

Each stripe (rows 1–36) uses approximately 55 yards / 14 grams of fingering weight yarn.
Total yardage depends on the size you choose to make.

Finished Measurements

Length: 94” (239 cm)
Width: 17–18” (43–46 cm)
