Lorelai Wrap

First published in issue 218 of The Knitter magazine in August 2025, Lorelai Wrap is now available as an individual pattern.

Lorelai Wrap is inspired by the lace net curtains in Lorelai Gilmore’s living room in the hit TV series Gilmore Girls. Worked in one piece from end to end using pure wool laceweight yarn, Lorelai Wrap gives the knitter a satisfying challenge which blocks out beautifully once complete.

Notes

Worked in one piece from end to end using pure wool laceweight yarn, Lorelai Wrap gives the knitter a satisfying challenge which blocks out beautifully once complete.

The repetition and placement of motifs gives the wrap balance and the wide garter stitch borders all around stop the fabric from curling inwards.
