Free from complications and excessive ornament, our Triangle Garter Wrap is an object lesson in the beauty of rustic simplicity. Like a wooden floor worn smooth or a perfectly seasoned cast iron pan, it forgoes finery in favor of essential grace and hearty warmth.

This wrap relies solely on garter stitch, which creates a lofty, cozy, and surprisingly intricate fabric despite being a total breeze to knit. You’ll cast on at the wrap’s bottom point, then increase at both selvages as the wrap radiates outward in ever-lengthening rows. The result is a big, generous wrap that enfolds the wearer in toasty comfort and low-key panache.

We’re thrilled to add the sweet song of our Nine-Note Bundles to our family of Triangle Garter Wraps! Knitting these bundles into a triangle is a whole new rhythm for this gentle gradient, with each stripe getting shorter as it gets wider, a beautiful subtlety. With the softest fine merino wool in the world (very nearly as soft as cashmere), plus 20% baby alpaca, this yarn is plump and satisfying, buoyant and durable, and oh-so-very-soft! So, immerse yourself in the beauty of our Nine-Note Bundles and enjoy each magnificent stitch and every wondrous shift in color!

  • 4 skeins of Purl Soho’s Good Wool, 100% undyed Andean highland wool. Each skein is 383 yards/ 100 grams; approximately 1532 yards required. We used the color Hickory Nut (shown top, above).
  • US 6 (4 mm), 24- and 40- or 47-inch circular needles (NOTE: You can use just the 40- or 47-inch needles, but they may be a bit unruly at the beginning of the project when you’re working only a few stitches!)

Gauge

22 stitches and 44 rows = 4 inches in garter stitch

Size

Finished Length Of Wingspan: 75½ inches

Finished Length Of Each Short Side: 52 inches

Finished Length From Cast-On Point To Middle Of Bind-Off Edge: 37¾ inches

Pattern

Cast 2 stitches onto shorter circular needles.

Row 1: K1, knit into front and back (kfb). [3 stitches]

Row 2: Slip 1 purlwise with yarn in front (wyif), kfb, k1. [4 stitches]

Row 3: Slip 1 purlwise wyif, knit to last 2 stitches, kfb, k1. [1 stitch increased]

Repeat Row 3 until piece measures 52 inches along one side of triangle from cast-on point, or until you have used all but approximately 10 yards of yarn, if using Good Wool.

Bind off loosely, going up a needle size if needed to ensure a nice, elastic edge.

Weave in ends, block if desired, and get cozy!
