Blockchain Wrap

How would you wear this wrap? Each individual chain on the bold side is mesmerizing. The simple blocks on the other side are calming and just as captivating. The drape of this wrap is incredible so you can wear it either way and the other side will peak out as you walk.

Whether you are a first time or experienced Fission Knitter, the 3 Rules of Fission Knitting will guide you with this pattern. Video tutorials are available for all the Fission stitches. Additional tutorials teach you to read your knitting. This is a great pattern to practice the 3 Rules of Fission Knitting.

Two strands of laceweight yarn are held together in a marl to create a fingering weight fabric. Many laceweight yarns are not suitable for this project; look for smooth yarns (no mohair or alpaca) with a good twist. Anzula Wash My Lace (kits available) is creates a squishy fabric and the twist on the yarn makes it a dream for Fission Knitting.
