Materials Needed

• Yarn: DK weight yarn in the following colors:
  • Emerald Green
  • Sapphire Blue
  • Amethyst Purple
  • Ruby Red
• Needles: US 6 (4.0 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 28 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Using the emerald green yarn, cast on 120 stitches using the long tail cast-on method for a flexible edge.
2. Rows 1-10: Knit every row to create a garter stitch section. This will form the base of your wrap.
3. Row 11: Change to sapphire blue yarn. Knit the first 10 stitches, then work the following pattern:
   • *Purl 2, knit 8*
   • Repeat from * to * until you have 10 stitches left, then knit those last 10 stitches.
4. Row 12: With sapphire blue yarn, knit all stitches across the row.
5. Repeat Rows 11-12: Continue this pattern for a total of 20 rows. You will see a beautiful texture forming with the alternating knit and purl stitches.
6. Switch to Amethyst Purple: Change your yarn to amethyst purple and knit the next 10 rows in garter stitch (knit every row).
7. Switch to Ruby Red: Change to ruby red yarn. For the next 10 rows, knit in stockinette stitch (knit one row, purl the next).
8. Repeat the Sequence: Continue repeating the entire sequence of color changes and stitch patterns until your wrap measures approximately 70 inches in length.
9. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to maintain the elasticity of the edge.
10. Finishing Touches: Weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle to give your wrap a clean finish.
