Primarily knit in stockinette stitch, a simple eyelet edge provides an interesting finish.<br \/>\nLightweight yarn knit at a loose gauge gives the Under Wraps Cardigan an airy, flowing drape great for wrapping around your shoulders. Using a provisional crochet cast on and with the assistance of Magic Loop, the entire garment is knit without a single seam. Once the knitting is completed, finishing takes only a few minutes.<br \/>\nThe flexibility of this cardigan makes it versatile enough to suit a wide range of body styles. It is perfect for casual Saturday shopping trips and dressy enough to wear over evening wear and a must-have piece for expectant or nursing mothers. If desired, the length and width of the wrap can be altered to make the wrap portion larger or smaller (may affect yarn yardage needed).<br \/>\nThe cardigan is designed to use either a fingering (Tosh Merino Light) or sport (Pashmina) weight yarn knit at the same finished gauge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last summer I came up with an idea for a garment that would be part wrap part cardigan.\u00a0 Life came up and I ended up side-tracked from it for a few months, then part way thru November decided to get &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/melindavermeer.com\/blog\/under-wraps\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":70,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,6,5],"tags":[7,38,122,33,39],"class_list":["post-69","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-designing","category-knitting","category-pattern","tag-design","tag-madelientosh","tag-pattern","tag-sweater","tag-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/melindavermeer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/melindavermeer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/melindavermeer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/melindavermeer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/melindavermeer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/melindavermeer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71,"href":"https:\/\/melindavermeer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69\/revisions\/71"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/melindavermeer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/melindavermeer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/melindavermeer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/melindavermeer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
