Triangle Wrap Knit Top
Materials:
US Size 11, 36” (or longer) Circular Knitting Needles
2 skeins Lion Brand Yarn Heartland in Acadia
1 skein Lion Brand Yarn Homespun in Hepplewhite
(Pattern uses approximately 200 g of yarn total)
Scissors
Tapestry Needle
Size: One size fits most
Approximately 62” at widest x 20” long
(I-cords each measure an additional 22” optional )
Notes:
This pattern is knit flat. It starts at the mid-point of the triangle and is worked by making simple increases and knitting across the rows. Drop stitch rows add a nice contrast and the Homespun yarn gives it textural interest. Finally, an i-cord is attached in order to wear it as a wrapped top.
Abbreviations (US) & Skills:
k – knit
yo – yarn over
st – stitch
cc – change color
kfb – knit in the front and back (increase)
You should be familiar with knitting a simple i-cord and drop stitches.
Gauge: Not important for this pattern, but mine is approximately 10 stitches in 4″
Helpful tips:
If you lose count of your rows, simply make sure you change colors on the same side each time. This will keep a consistent look. In addition, you should ensure that the triangle is at least 20” long and 62” wide when complete. Simply add more rows with the pattern repeat to make it longer if needed or desired.
If you prefer not to count rows, you may also knit this following the stitch pattern repeat and measure the sections throughout. You may work approximately 3” of Acadia knit stitch rows between each drop stitch/white detail. Again, simply make your color change on the right side each time.
Cast on 3 stitches
Row 1 Knit across the row
Row 2 Kfb in 1st st of row, knit each st across to the last st of the row, kfb last st of row
Rows 3 – 15 Repeat row 2
Row 16 Kfb in 1st st of row, *yo, k1; repeat from * across to last st, yo, kfb in last st of row.
Row 17 Kfb in 1st st of row, *drop yo off of needle, knit next st; repeat from * across to last st of row, kfb in last st of row.
CC to Hepplewhite (right side)
Row 18 Kfb in 1st st of row, knit each st across to the last st of the row, kfb last st of row
Row 19 – 21 Kfb in 1st st of row, knit each st across to last st of the row, kfb in last st of row
CC to Acadia
Row 22 Repeat row 16
Row 23 Repeat row 17
Next, repeat rows 2 – 23 2 MORE times.
(You should have a total of 3 stripes)
Next, repeat rows 2 – 15 one more time.
Continue pattern repeats until piece measures approximately 20” long and 62” wide.
Note, if you’d like to make this wrap larger, just continue with this pattern until it reaches your desired size!
Cast off and weave in ends.
If you’d like to wear this as a wrapped-top, you will now knit the i-cord. If you want to use this as a basic triangle wrap/shawl, you’re all finished! Add tassels or a small i-cord and tassels as desired!
I Cord Pattern
Cast on 4 stitches
Row 1 Knit each st across the row
Next, slide your work to the opposite end of your needles. Do not turn. You will then knit, tightening the first stitch of the row and knitting each of the next 3 stitches. Repeat this pattern by knitting each stitch across the row and then sliding the work to the opposite end to knit again.
Continue knitting until the I-Cord is approximately 22” long (fits most sizes). Cast off and weave in ends.
Attach each of the I cords to each outer corner of triangle wrap with a simple whip stitch.
To wear, place triangle wrap on yourself as if to wear it like a shawl (on your back). Pull the two corner sides around the front and tie at the back.
