Late Summer Wrap PDF

Late Summer Wrap by Pernille Larsen is a classic and elegant wrap cardigan designed to be worn over dresses or high-waisted jeans on chilly summer evenings. It is worked with 1 strand of Merino and 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair held together throughout – a soft combination that will also keep you warm during winter. Late Summer Wrap is worked back and forth in stockinette stitch from the top down. You start with Provisional cast-on for the back neckband and afterwards, pick up additional stitches and shape the saddle shoulders, sleeve cap and fronts. Work is divided at underarms, and sleeve stitches placed on hold to be worked after the body has been completed. Body is continued back and forth with additional front shaping and then finished with a sideways bottom band, attached ties and an opening in one side for one of the ties. Sleeves are worked top down in the round in stockinette stitch and finished with a folded edge. The length of the ties, body and sleeves can easily be adjusted.
