Trendsetter Yarns L Ecopuno Degrade Ridged Box Wrap

What Is Being Made

The Ridged Box Wrap is a rectangular knit shawl and wrap designed by Barry Klein. This finished garment measures 15 inches wide by 66 inches long, making it an elegant accessory suitable for draping across shoulders or wearing as a generous wrap. The piece is worked seamlessly in a flat construction, creating a versatile layering piece that combines visual texture with practical dimensions.

Techniques Used

This wrap is created using seamless, flat knitting techniques. The pattern is worked from a single cast-on edge to the bind-off, requiring no seaming or assembly. The design takes advantage of the yarn's natural color degradation by allowing knitters to choose whether to work from the inside or outside of the cake skein, giving control over how the color transitions are positioned throughout the finished piece. The pattern emphasizes the importance of reading your knitting to track row progression within the 12-row repeat, ensuring pattern accuracy without constant reliance on row counters.

Stitches Used

The wrap features the Ridge Box Stitch, a textured stitch pattern that creates dimensional ridges and boxes across the fabric. The 12-row repeat is structured as follows:

• Rows 1, 3, 8: *Purl 3, Knit 3* repeated across, ending with Purl 3
• Rows 2, 7, 9: *Knit 3, Purl 3* repeated across, ending with Knit 3
• Rows 4, 6, 11: Knit across the entire row
• Rows 5, 10, 12: Purl across the entire row

This combination of knit and purl stitches creates raised ridges and recessed box formations that give the wrap visual interest and subtle texture while remaining accessible to intermediate knitters.

Materials and Gauge

The wrap is knitted with Lana Grossa Ecopuno Degrade yarn in colorway #405, using two 50-gram skeins. U.S. Size #6 knitting needles are required. The gauge is 22 stitches over 4 inches when worked in the Ridge Box Stitch with the specified needle size and yarn. The pattern begins with a cast-on of 81 stitches and continues in the Ridge Box Stitch pattern until the piece reaches 66 inches in length or until sufficient yarn remains only for binding off. All yarn tails are buried during finishing for a polished appearance.
