Ticking Stripe Wrap
Thoughts of impending summer days, of sundrenched lakeside chairs and fields of pink yarrow, sumac, and buttercups, inspired our Ticking Stripe Wrap pattern. It’s the perfect stress-free summer knitting project, which, in the end, also offers beautiful protection against chilly evenings… Long after the sun has gone down!
I used Purl Soho’s Linen Quill in Trout Brown, Heirloom White, and Kiln Red, with cheerful accents of Purl Soho’s Line Weight in Super Pink and Yellow Yellow. I love how easily simple stripes in reverse stockinette mimic the look of classic ticking. A simple hem along the bottom and top edges helps to keep the finishing neat and the edges flat.
Whatever your summer days look like ahead, wherever your travels may take you, be sure to pack your Ticking Stripe Wrap, in process or all done! -Kristy

Notes
Handling the Ends
Unless otherwise instructed, we cut the yarn each time we finished using it and wove in the ends when we were done knitting.
Another option is to carry the tail of the old yarn along as you knit the first couple of inches with the new yarn. This will create a slight distortion at the ends of the stripes but will also significantly decrease the number of ends you need to weave in. (Be sure when you knit the next row to treat each double-stranded stitch as one stitch.)
Turn and Slide
There are instructions in this pattern to either “Turn” or “Slide” the work.
“Turn work” means to do what you would normally do when knitting rows with a circular needle: Put the needle in your left hand into your right and the needle in your right hand into your left, and flip the work around so the opposite side is facing you.
“Slide work” means to keep the same side of the work facing you and to push all the stitches to the right end of the circular needle. Without turning the work, start the new row as you normally would.
Remember that the whole pattern is stockinette stitch, so you’ll know you’re turning and sliding correctly if you’re knitting on the knit side and purling on the purl side!
Pattern
With Yarn A, cast on 490 stitches. We used a basic Long Tail Cast On. (A little tip: When you’re casting on so many stitches, it helps to place a marker or piece of scrap yarn every 50 stitches, so if you lose your place, you don’t have to start counting from the very beginning!)
Starting and ending with a knit row, work in stockinette stitch for 5 rows. Turn work (see “Turn and Slide” in the Notes section above).
