MATERIALS

Purl Soho’s Arctic Wrap Bundle. Our Arctic Wrap Bundle comes in two palettes. Here, we used the icy cool Glacier. Mountain is a warmer take on the concept and is equally beautiful! Each one includes…
5 skeins of Purl Soho’s Worsted Twist, 100% merino wool
7 skeins of Purl Soho’s Alpaca Pure, 100% super baby alpaca (Please Note: We no longer offer Alpaca Pure but would recommend selecting 12 skeins of Worsted Twist in your favorite color range!)
US 9, straight or circular needles

GAUGE: 20 stitches = 4 inches in Fair Isle stitch (see Rows 1 and 2 of Work First Section of Fair Isle, below)

FINISHED SIZE:  Approximately 90 inches long by 20 inches wide

NOTES

In the TRANSITION sections of the pattern, you will be working with three strands of yarn. I devised an untraditional stranding method in order to disrupt the pattern on wrong side of the fabric as little as possible. Below is a photo tutorial with detailed instructions on how to carry the yarn across the back when working with three strands during these TRANSITION sections.

FOR ROWS 1, 5, AND 7 (RIGHT SIDE)

Identify the working yarn. Pull it straight up towards you, separating it from the other strands.
Take the working yarn towards the right, then under the other strands and knit.

FOR ROW 8 (WRONG SIDE)

Take the working yarn towards the right, then under the other strands and purl.

FOR ROW 9 (RIGHT SIDE)

Arctic Wrap | Purl Soho
For the Contrast Colors, work in the same way as described above for Rows 1, 5 and 7: Identify the working yarn, take it towards the right, then under the other strands and knit.

For the Main Color, carry it across the top of the one Contrast Color to its left.
