Modern Quilt Wrap
Designer: Mags Kandis |
Easy
Download Modern Quilt WrapWhat could be more comforting than being wrapped up in the warmth of a colorful quilt? Very loosely based on the traditional Log Cabin quilt block, Mags Kandis worked this wrap/oversized scarf square by square in the easy and satisfying mitered-square method of color knitting. This is as effortless as working in stripes, but the results are far more impressive. As this project is worked one color as a time, it’s perfect for thinking about and playing with color.
Finished Size: About 16½" (42 cm) wide and 66" (168 cm) long, after blocking. Yarn: DK (#3 Light). Shown here: Rowan Kidsilk Haze (70% super kid mohair; 30% silk; 230 yd [210 m]/25 g): #597 jelly (lime green; A), #596 marmalade (orange; B), #583 blushes (rose; C), #600 dewberry (lavender; D), #582 trance (medium blue; E), #578 swish (gold; F), #581 meadow (pale blue; G), #595 liqueur (dark red; H), and #588 drab (grey; I), 1 ball each. See individual yardage amounts below. Notions: Marker (m); tapestry needle. Gauge: Small square measures 2¾" (7 cm) square; large square measures 5½" (14 cm) square, both after blocking. Skill level: Easy. Pattern Correction (posted 9/10/07; PDF updated 9/4/07): 
Needles: Size 7 (4.5 mm). Note: a 16" (40 cm) bamboo circular needle is recommended. Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
