Save yourself some purl rows and knit your wraps in the round!

When working most traditional shawl patterns in rows, you work a “pattern” row, and then turn and purl the wrong side. But by knitting your shawls and scarves in the round, you are always knitting on the right side, so it is easy to work beautiful stranded, lace, texture, and even brioche patterns. Plus, it's so fast to keep knitting with no turning!

Once you’ve finished knitting your shawl, you then cut through the extra stitches included in each pattern (known as steek stitches). Hem with simple hand or machine sewing, and your wrap is ready to wear! Author Andrea Brauneis explains the process in detail, and the extra stitches and instructions are included in each pattern, making it easy to work these 21 gorgeous scarf and wrap patterns even if it’s your first time trying this technique. And once you try it, you’ll want to knit all your wraps around and around!

Reviews for Knitting Wraps in the Round: 21 Inspired Shawls, Scarves, and Stoles

Brauneis, a designer and model knitter for various yarn labels and private clients, has produced a gorgeous book of shawls, scarves, and stoles, all knitted with the ""steeking"" method used in Norwegian sweaters, which allows flat objects to be knitted in the round. What would be two edges of a piece are joined together by a section of stockinette, allowing for continuous knitting without turning one's work back and forth. The steek is then cut apart and finished, and Brauneis has very clear directions for doing so, by hand or by machine. Knitting basics are well illustrated, and abbreviations and symbols are defined and explained. This is not a book for the novice, however, or the faint of heart. Many of the shawls are triangular, requiring both double-pointed and circular needles. Others are lacy patterns, requiring a variety of stitches, with some patterns given as charts. VERDICT Confident experienced knitters will likely have great fun with this.--Debbie Bogenshutz ""Library Journal""
