Fractured Wake Is Live!

This morning I published my very first knitting pattern, the Fractured Wake Wrap! A little over a foot wide and a generous 8+ feet long, it’s an eminently wearable and incredibly cozy accessory that—I can vouch for this personally since I can’t stop wrapping up in my samples, even just to sit around in them in my home—will make even the laziest loungewear look stylish with no effort at all.

The wrap begins at one end with picking up stitches from a very short I-cord. Increases on either side of the spine create a gradual point that widens to the max number of stitches, which you’ll stick to for the majority of the wrap. Then after finishing the final brioche section, you’ll decrease at the same rate toward the ending point.

Features of the wrap include: an I-cord border, squishy garter, simple eyelets (made with double yarn-overs for a more open texture), and two-color brioche. Each time you add a new color in a brioche section, that color features as the more prominent main color, meaning each color gets its turn once as both background and foreground.

I designed the wrap for a four-color gradient or fade, shifting from lightest to darkest at the center, and then back to lightest again. But I hope to see others play around with color, or order, to make it their own! You can also easily make it longer by adding more repeats of any of the garter, eyelet, or brioche modules.

Find more info, including yardage requirements, here and/or on the pattern page on Ravelry. Yarn kits are also available here on the website.

This design has been my cherished obsession for over two months now, and I’m so happy to have released it into the world. I hope that knitting it, if you knit it, brings you the joy that bringing it to life gave me.
