9 TSS = 4 inches
When using such a special yarn, allow the yarn to do the work and use only Tunisian Simple Stitch, which shows the beauty of the yarn. A larger hook is used to make a loose tension, allowing sequins to flow through more easily.
Both skeins of yarn are used on each row in the pattern. One is referred to as skein A, and the second is referred to as skein B.
Double-Ended Tunisian With a Moebius Join (see page 9)
Note: Since Wrap is worked in the round, you will need to complete 2 or more “passes” of picking up lps in order to make it all the way around. The instructions state total number of sts for each rnd, but work is completed in sections in order to make it around (see page 9). Pulling up lps is always done with skein A, and closing lps is always done with skein B.
Rnd 1:
A: With skein A and double-ended hook, ch 130, sk first ch, *insert hook in next ch, yo, pull lp through, leaving lp on hook, rep from * across (130 lps on hook);
B: turn hook 180 degrees so back of work is facing, push lps to opposite end of hook, pull skein B through 1 lp on hook, with skein B, [yo, pull through 2 lps on hook] across.
Note: When closing sts in 2 or more “passes,” always remember to leave last 3 or 4 sts on hook to maintain stability of lps.
Rnd 2:
A: Without twisting foundation ch, bring first st close to last st, then twist 1 short end 180 degrees (1 short end is now upside down), place st marker in foundation ch of first st of rnd, working in unused lps of foundation ch, pull up lps around (130 lps on hook);
B: turn hook 180 degrees (so back of work is facing), push lps to opposite end of hook, [yo, pull through 2 lps on hook] around.
Note: Since this project uses a moebius join, rem rnds are worked in a “figure eight” throughout. After rnd 3, it will appear that a total of 4 rnds have been worked. The foundation ch will be in center of work. A complete rnd will have been made when you reach st marker. Move marker up as work progresses. Or, alternatively, use a separate st marker to mark rnds, leaving first marker to mark beg join for easier counting.
Rnd 3:
A: TSS (see Stitch Glossary on page 31) around (260 lps on hook);
B: turn hook 180 degrees, push lps to opposite end of hook, [yo, pull through 2 lps on hook] around.
Rnds 4–16: Rep rnd 3.
Rnd 17: With skein A, sk first st, sl st as for TSS around. Fasten off both yarns.
Weave in all ends securely, cutting any sequins out of loose strands before weaving them in with tapestry needle to make finishing easier. Block as desired.
