Mary’s ‘Stole Dunes’ wrap

Mary made this version of Svetlana Gordon‘s dramatic ‘Stole Dunes‘ wrap pattern, using complementary shades of Log House Cottage Squishy Sock yarn.

You could use just about any yarn for this project, because gauge isn’t too important for a wrap.  Depending on yarn weight and needle size, it could end up bigger or smaller, but it will make a super wrap at most sizes.  You could also vary the number of pattern repeats for whatever size you want.  A longer, thinner version could make a lovely scarf.

However, Squishy Sock is a particularly good yarn choice.  It’s as soft and squishy as the name implies, and it comes in a superb range of complementary tonal shades and fades.  We definitely love Mary’s colour choices!

This is a great pattern, too.  Not super-hard to execute, but great fun.  And the way the stitches run both horizontally and vertically creates a dramatic effect that looks terrific and makes other knitters wonder how you did it.  Anyone who sees it will think that you are very, very clever to have made something this interesting!
