NOTES

● You may find it easier to work the wrap on a circular needle, but work backwards and forwards in rows, not in rounds.

● As you are unlikely to knit the whole wrap in one sitting, leave the sts on a circular needle, as they can stretch, if left on straight needles.

● Join in new balls of yarn between the 3-st moss st edge and the main patt.
