First published in autumn 2013, the Apple Season Wrap has remained a simple fall staple. And now, it has received a facelift: new yarn weight, with a few simplifications to the instructions for this classic and easy to wear piece! It still includes instructions for the original gauge as well, which means that you can choose to make it in either fingering weight or a sport/DK weight. Both weights will create a lovely wrap that carries you through the cold seasons.

The Apple Season Wrap is a simple knit, with lots of Stockinette stitch. The touch of lace makes the piece a little more interesting to knit, and a little bit graceful while still providing some warmth on cold autumn and winter days. It is knit flat lengthwise. Circular needles are needed to accommodate the large number of stitches.
