The Skipping Stones Wrap is a rectangular wrap that makes us think about peaceful days at the lake, skipping stones across the surface of calm water. With a bobbled edging and textural stripes of Garter Stitch and eyelets, this wrap is a simple project that can still hold your interest. To play with the circle theme, there are two different sizes of eyelets used in this wrap.
Construction Details:
The Wrap is worked in two separate halves and then grafted together. Not only does that make the knitting much more portable, it allows the bobbled edgings on each side of the wrap to be identical.
