Ella Wrap knittingforolive_new

Ella Wrap has a raglan construction and features allover garter stitch and i-cord ties. It is worked back and forth from the top down using 1 strand of either Merino, Cotton Merino or Pure Silk + 2 strands of Soft Silk Mohair held together throughout.

You start working the yoke back and forth to the underarms where work is divided and sleeves and body finished separately. Sleeves are worked from the top down, either back and forth or in the round, before the wrap is finished with i-cord ties and an i-cord edge along fronts and neckline.
