When I set out to design this wrap (and the crochet Vista Wrap), I wanted to create something that was as universally loved as possible and something that could be customized and personalized to represent something special for the maker or the receiver in the case of a gift. To do this, I took inspiration from some of my most popular designs, all triangle wraps, and added details from them to ensure this new project had all of the best bits. I focused on simplicity so the projects would be on the easy side and more people could join in on the KAL. And lastly, because I knew color would play a major role in personalization, I dreamed up 15 different themes and created special mood boards for each to really give a feeling to each one. Places, locations, views - they often hold so many memories and emotions and I figured that was the best way to go about choosing colors for this piece.

If you’re a fan of this design and curious to check out the other triangle wraps that inspired it, here are some good ones with which to start:

I took color inspo from the Coffee Shop Wrap (one of my all-time best sellers), stripe progression inspo from the Shadowplay Wrap, and stitch inspo from the Reverb Wrap!

Because the Landscape Wrap is worked up in Color Theory, a smooth all-season yarn, the finished piece is a lightweight, squishy, drapey dream with butter soft fabric that is also machine washable and dryable! This yarn glides off the needles and is so enjoyable to work with. It also has the most perfect palette of 18 colors that were carefully curated to work together. When selecting the colors for this yarn, I chose colors for different seasons and made sure there was plenty of contrast and a beautiful selection of neutrals (there are six!) so that combining colors would be a breeze. The palette couldn’t be better for this project!

As I mentioned I put together 15 different themes for the KAL/CAL, and because both the Landscape Wrap and the crochet Vista Wrap each use only 1 skein of 5 colors, you can choose any of the themes regardless of which craft you choose. You can check out all 15 themes and learn how to put together your own combo if you want to go rogue here. For my Landscape Wrap, I went with the Moonlight Shores theme. I used to primarily only design using these steely blues and neutrals, and I just LOVE the way they go together. This combo feels like a classic Two of Wands colorstory.

After I chose the colors for each theme, I took time to put them into a specific order as well (the progression). Did you know that with five colors, there are literally 120 different ways to arrange them!? MIND. BLOWN. Depending on the progression you choose, you can really get a totally different look even with the same five colors. All of the themes include the progression I think looks more visually appealing, but of course this whole project is meant to be personalized so it’s really up to you how you want to arrange them!

This is an easy level knitting pattern, and the techniques involved are knitting, purling, m1r and m1l increases, YO increases, K3tog tbl decreases, and changing colors in stripes. Once again, video tutorials will be added to this post throughout the course of the KAL so make sure to check back!

Note: Wrap is worked from the top down, increasing 4 sts on every right side (even) row after the set up rows. Pattern is composed of sections of stockinette and two-row textured stripes, ending with a garter stitch section to prevent curling along the edges. Carry the dominant color up the side of the work when knitting the textured stripes to avoid weaving in extra ends. The bound off edge forms the outer v-shaped sides and it is important to bind off loosely to prevent this edge from pulling so it will drape nicely.

Cut ninety 10”/25cm lengths and three 18”/46cm lengths of color A and three 18”/46cm lengths of color B. Divide the 10”/25cm lengths into three groups of 30. Tie each bundle at the middle point with one of the 18”/46cm lengths of color A. Fold each bundle in half so that the tie is at the tip of the loop created with the fold.

Tie crosswise around each folded bundle about 1⁄2”/1.25cm below top of fold with remaining 18”/46cm lengths of color B. Wrap the tails of the ties around and around the bundles and then thread them inside and down the middle of the bundles with a tapestry needle. Tie the tops of the tassels onto the 3 corners of the wrap and knot to secure. Thread the tails inside and down the middle of the tassels using a tapestry needle. Trim tassels to desired length.
