Large, soft wrap shawls are more than just an accessory.
They offer warmth, comfort, and that special feeling of simply being enveloped.
Sometimes it only takes eleven stitches to create something grand.
That's exactly how our model "Shoulder Wrap with Two Points" from Rebecca No. 80, Model 27 begins. And row by row, it grows into a generous, flowing wrap that drapes around your shoulders almost by itself.
A design with a special shape
The wrap starts with just 11 stitches.
Through continuous increases at four points, six new stitches are created in each right-side row – until finally an impressive 491 stitches are on the needle.
The result:
- approx. 110 x 65 cm in size
- two distinctive points
- four decorative tassels
- an exceptionally flowing silhouette
The special cut ensures that the wrap drapes softly around the shoulders, creating an elegant, modern shape – somewhere between a cape, a poncho, and a classic wrap.
Between a cape and a cuddly blanket
Whether worn casually open, loosely wrapped, or as a warming layer on cool evenings – this large knitted wrap is versatile.
Its generous width makes it look like a modern oversized knit cape. At the same time, it remains a true feel-good piece that envelops you like a small security blanket for on the go.
Large wraps are timeless – and particularly in demand right now. Layering looks, wide silhouettes, and hand-knitted key pieces define current knitwear fashion.
The yarn question – modern alternatives
The design was originally developed for the quality MOJAVE by ggh – a fluffy, light bulk yarn.
As this quality is no longer available, the model can be wonderfully reinterpreted with modern yarns.
The gauge remains important:
- 16 stitches x 24 rows = 10 x 10 cm
- Needle size 6–6.5 mm
- stockinette stitch
Depending on the desired look, various alternatives are available:
🧶 Classic & versatile: ggh Merino Deluxe
If you want to knit a pleasantly soft, everyday wrap, choose ggh Merino Deluxe.
- soft and elastic
- clear stitch definition
- elegant, even surface
- perfect for autumn and winter
Knitted with a slightly larger needle, you'll achieve a flowing, elegant drape.
The wrap looks modern, calm, and high-quality.
✨ Light & elegant: ggh Lacy (also double-stranded)
For a finer, particularly elegant version, ggh Lacy is suitable.
- fine merino-silk blend
- ideal for delicate, lighter wraps
- beautiful, gentle sheen
Knitted double-stranded, you'll achieve the necessary strength for this model – the result will be a bit lighter, softer, and very feminine.
☁ Fluffy & luxurious: ggh Kid
For those who love it especially soft and cloud-like, the wrap can be interpreted with ggh Kid.
- luxurious mohair yarn
- exceptionally light
- delicate fluffy effect
- very elegant appearance
The wrap thus gains an almost floating look – ideal for anyone who wants to knit a statement piece with a wow effect.
Who is this model suitable for?
The shoulder wrap is ideal for:
- advanced beginners
- anyone who loves relaxing, rhythmic knitting
- knitters looking for a large key piece
- anyone who wants to make a timeless gift themselves
The construction is clearly structured and easy to follow – perfect for delving into a larger project.
