With MAIDEN HAIR yarn, cast on 121 stitches.
Row 1 (RS): k1, ssk, k17, yo, (k1, yo, k18, md, k18, yo), repeat brackets once more, k1, yo, k17, k2tog, k1
Row 2 (WS): Knit all stitches, knit yo’s through the back loop
Row 3: Repeat row 1.
Row 4: Repeat row 2.
Switch to SILK CLOUD yarn
Row 5 (RS): k1, ssk, k17, yo, (k1, yo, k18, md, k18, yo), repeat brackets once more, k1, yo, k17, k2tog, k1
Row 6 (WS): Purl all stitches, purl yo’s through the back loop
Row 7: Repeat row 5.
Row 8: Repeat row 6.
Repeat these 8 rows, alternating between the Maiden Hair and Silk Cloud every 4 rows until wrap is desired length
(we ended at 68” but could easily have knit another 15” with the remaining yarn).
Be sure to end with Maiden Hair (to match the cast on edge of the wrap).
Cast off loosely, sew in ends, and block!
NOTE:
We recommend bamboo needles for added control when knitting with fine mohair ☺
