Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight yarn in metallic silver and deep space blue
• Needles: US 10 (6.0 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends and attaching fringe

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 80 stitches using your US 10 (6.0 mm) knitting needles. Ensure your cast-on is loose enough to allow for flexibility in the edge of the wrap.
2. Rows 1-10: Knit every stitch across the row. This will create a garter stitch edge that adds stability to your wrap. Repeat this for a total of 10 rows.
3. Row 11: Begin the textured pattern. *Knit 2 stitches, then Purl 2 stitches.* Repeat this sequence until you reach the end of the row. This will create a ribbed effect.
4. Row 12: Continue the textured pattern. *Purl 2 stitches, then Knit 2 stitches.* Repeat this sequence until the end of the row. This will alternate the ribbing from the previous row.
5. Repeat Rows 11-12: Continue repeating Rows 11 and 12 until your work measures approximately 40 inches in length. This will create a beautiful wave effect reminiscent of time ripples.
6. Bind Off: Once you have reached the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to maintain the elasticity of the wrap. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches.
7. Create Fringe: Cut 12-inch strands of yarn. You will need enough strands to attach to every other stitch along the short ends of the wrap. Aim for about 20-30 strands in total, depending on your preference for fullness.
8. Attach Fringe: Using your tapestry needle, attach the fringe strands to every other stitch along the short edges of the wrap. Alternate colors between metallic silver and deep space blue for a dynamic visual effect. Ensure that the knots are secure and evenly spaced.
9. Finishing Touches: Weave in any loose ends using your tapestry needle. Make sure to trim any excess yarn for a clean finish.
