Regina is a very versatile piece born from my need for something adaptable and occasionally dramatic to wear with my favourite red trench coat.
Sometimes one wants to make a dramatic entrance, no?
I love garter stripes, and an easy, mindless knit so I turned them up a notch by knitting them on the bias and using a Fibonacci-inspired stripe pattern.
The easy garter stitch pattern makes this ideal TV knitting, so I knit most of this wrap while watching TV with my daughter. Her favourite show is "Once Upon a Time" and one of the main characters, Regina, inspired the name for this wrap; she is strong, dramatic and looks ravishing in red.
This wrap would be amazing in so many different colour combinations. I am thinking of making myself another one in two neutrals (maybe a chocolate and a cream or a black and grey). I can't wait to see what other knitters come up with!
This wrap is a yarn-eater though (I actually considered calling it "Yarn Eater") you will need 2 full 100gram skeins of each colour in fingering weight yarn. Although, it would be great in a sport/DK/aran weight as well.
It's sooo versatile - here are lots of pictures to prove it!
