Abbreviations: k: knit p: purl sl: slip a stitch as if to purl psso: pass the slipped stitch over the first stitch and off the needle p2sso: pass 2 slipped stitches over the first stitch and off the needle yo: yarn over the needle from front to back tbl: knit through the back loop of the stitch Note: The ripple stitch is an adapted stitch pattern found in the book, 200 Ripple Stitch Patterns by, Jan Eaton. I highly recommend this book. Wrap Pattern: Cast on 57 stitches. Row 1: k1, sl1, k1, psso, then repeat the following (k7, yo, k1, yo, k7, sl2, k1, p2sso) to the last 18 stitches, then k7, yo, k1, yo, k7, k2tog, k1 Row 2: knit all stitches and knit all yo stitches tbl Repeat rows 1 and 2 until you have used 5 hanks of Outer and leaving enough to bind off. Bind off. Cut the yarn and pull the end through the remaining stitch. Weave in all ends and trim. Finished measurements after blocking: 38 inches by 18 inches Yarn: Spud & Chlo Outer (superwash 65% superwash wool, 35% organic cotton; 100 grams/60 yards), 5 skeins in Cedar #7209 Needles: US size 17 needles or size to obtain gauge (I used 24-inch circular needles to work back and forth) Gauge: 1 stitches per inch in stockinette stitch Materials: 5 one-inch buttons and sewing thread and needle (optional) Yarn needle Scissors Tape Measure Blocking: Machine wash the wrap in cold and on a gentle wash cycle. Remove from the washer and gently pull the wrap lengthwise to line up the ripple pattern and lay flat to dry. When the wrap is still slightly damp put it in the dryer on a delicate setting to finish the drying. Buttons (optional): I tried the wrap on and placed pins where I wanted the buttons to go and this may work best for you. Otherwise, measure up 3 inches from the first point in from the side edge and place the first button. Then measure 2 inches in between the rest of the buttons. The buttons slip through the wrap on the other side without buttonholes.
