Wray Wrap

Wray Wrap is a nostalgic nod to the Roaring Twenties, and the beautiful lace and ornamentation of the era. It is a beautiful lightweight layer for when you need just a touch of elegance and warmth.

Wray Wrap is knit flat and in two identical pieces. A series of charts based on a 16 stitch repeat progress from the scalloped edge to the centre of the wrap. The stitches are put on hold while the second half is knit, then both halves are grafted together at the middle of the stole. The lace pattern is charted only.

Sizing

One size.

15.25” (39 cm) wide x 74” (188 cm) long.

The width of the wrap can easily be altered by casting on more or less stitches than prescribed for the cast on in multiples of 16. The length of the wrap can be altered by working more or less repeats of Chart B and/or Chart D.

Gauge

On US Size 6 (4 mm) needles, after blocking:

23 sts/ 24 rows in 4” (10 cm) in Chart D (Fountain Lace)

One repeat wide by 3 repeats long of Chart D (16 sts/ 24 rows) is 3” x 4” (7.5 cm x 10 cm)
