Pieces Wrap
Pieces Wrap is all about the colors and wonderful squishy garter stitch. it’s worked in one piece, but in three phases. First you knit a center diamond in one direction, then another picking up stitches from the previous diamond. Finally, you work a faded garter stitch border around the whole thing. this wrap is both easy and fun!
Ever wondered what to knit with all those gorgeous mini skein sets? What to knit with some little odds and ends you have left over from various projects? I have a great idea for you: Pieces Wrap. This wrap uses a total of twenty-two mini skeins: one set of twelve mini-skeins with a mix of all the colors and one with a ten mini-skein fade.
