This wrap is a very easy project, perfect for beginners or for social knitting. Pints and Purls? Yes, please! The worsted weight makes it fly off the needles, and the garter stitch makes it incredibly warm and squishy. Colors 1, 2, and 3 are semi-solids and Color 4 is a speckled delight. Finish the wrap with tassels for a fun accent.
