Do you have time to knit or crochet for Wrap With Love

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING SQUARES

Squares for Wraps are to measure 25cm x 25cm (10 inches x 10 inches).

Knitted Squares
To knit a 25cm x 25cm square use No.8 (4mm) needles with 8 ply yarn, cast on 50-55 stitches, and knit each row plain (ie garter stitch).

Note
Test your tension to measure 10 inches.

Do Not Knit Stocking stitch
Do not knit one row plain, one row purl (ie stocking stitch) as your square will curl up.

No Knots
Start each ball of yarn at the beginning of a row and sew in ends. Do not cut ends off short as your square will unravel. When starting or finishing a square, sew in all ends.

Crochet squares
Crochet squares to measure 25cm x 25 cm as for knitted squares – any pattern will do. Some people crochet the whole Wrap in one piece.

COMPLETED WRAPS ARE PREFERRED

They are made up of 28 squares as per diagram.

Across: 4 squares = 100cm (40 inches).
Down: 7 squares = 175 cm (70 inches).

Please keep joins on the same side and flat and alternate the squares vertically and then horizontally.
