Zigzag Reversible Wrap

By , from the Snug in Seed Stitch: Nubbly Knits We Love issue

This fun rectangular shawl blends marled seed stitch with double-knit zigzags to create an eye-catching, reversible wrap. The colorwork is inspired by Anna Maltz’s “marlisle” technique, but uses double knitting instead of stranded colorwork so that there is no wrong side. The seed stitch background is worked with both colors of yarn held together, and then each color is used separately to create the double-knit zigzag motif. The suggested yarns pair an ombré pink with an ombré gray to create an interesting gradient effect. As a finishing touch, a tassel is added to each corner of the shawl. The dimensions of the wrap can easily be modified to create a narrower scarf or a wider blanket, as desired.
