Pleated Wrap
What about when knitted fabric acts more like paper, crisply creased into an accordion fold? Then knitting has accomplished something new, and you’ve got a beautiful Pleated Wrap!
There is literally nothing more here than knits and purls, and somehow they arrange themselves in a completely unexpected texture, like a folded paper fan.
For beautiful stitch definition and a truly lovely feel, we used our Season Alpaca. This yarn is all about close-to-your-neck coziness and the silky, soft beauty of 100% super baby alpaca.
Season Alpaca is now available in seven new colors, including this juicy Fresh Fig. We love its depth and richness! We also welcome Blue Pansy, a vibrant blue right on the verge of purple; Gray Shade, a dark shadow of a neutral, and a handful of other very tempting beauties!
You’ll need six skeins of whatever color you choose, new or old, for the wrap shown here, or pick up just three for a narrower scarf. Then cast on to find out just what knits and purls can do!
Yarn lovers, if you adore the yarn used in this project, you’ll love exploring all of our other yarn collections! Discover over 55 thoughtfully designed yarns in nearly every natural fiber and in every spectacular color you can imagine.
