Boxing Bear Hug

Introducing Boxing Bear Hug – a wrap this time, following the lead of its cowl cousin, Boxing Bears. Worked in Crane yarn (a most luscious, worsted-weight, mohair-blend by Quince & Co), its knits and purls create a fabric that's as soft as air to wear. This wrap is worked top-down and in-the-round with an alternating and expanding Garter Rib as you go. Described in row by row detail, you'll also find a charted Row Tracker, my tool for keeping things easy and fun. Enjoy!
