Dropped and Found Wrap

Knit Pattern
Easy Skill Level
Designed by Jessie Rayot

Dropped and Found is a warm wrap that is much simpler to make than it looks. It uses
dropped stitches woven back together in larger stitches to create texture and an interesting
detail. I love bringing mine to movies or Girl Scout meetings ~ as both those places are
always a bit cooler than I like.

Size:
19" x 52" (or as long as you want)

Yarn:
Berroco Vintage Chunky ~ 6 to 7 skeins in the color of your choice (6.3 skeins were used to
make the sample seen in the photos)

Needles:
Size 10 / 6 mm

Gauge:
16 sts x 32 rows in garter st in a 4" square

Stitches and Skills used:

CO ~ cast on
K ~ knit

Getting Started:
This pattern is worked in garter stitch to start off, then sections of sts are dropped and
worked back together in larger sts. There are photos to help with this. This video may also
help, it is a crochet example, but it shows the same technique that this pattern uses.
The edge of this wrap has a chain look because of how the first stitch is slipped. Here is a
tutorial showing the technique.
Pattern:
CO 81
Row 1: Slip 1 purl wise with yarn in front, K to end.
Repeat row 1: to desired length.

Finishing:
Here is a video to aid in the finishing of the wrap, and to show the optional crochet slip
stitch along the bottom.
Row 1: Slip 1 purl wise with yarn in front, K8, drop 3 sts, yo [K12, drop 3 sts, yo] 4 times,
K9.
Row 2: Slip 1 purl wise with yarn in front, K to end, ignoring dropped sts.

Chains, Step 1: Pull the dropped stitches all the way to the bottom. Count the dropped
strands in groups of 4. You do not need to know how many groups of 4 you have, you just
need to know if you have a multiple of 4, or if you have a multiple of 4 with 1, 2, or 3 left
over.

If you have a multiple of 4 with no strands left over, you will use 4 strands for all the loops
in step 2;
if you have a multiple of 4 with 1 strand left over, you will use 5 strands for the first loop
in step 2, and 4 strands for the rest of the loops in step 2;
if you have a multiple of 4 with 2 strands left over, you will use 5 strands for the first and
last loop in step 2, and 4 strands for the rest of the loops in step 2;
if you have a multiple of 4 with 3 strands left over, you will use 3 strands for the last loop
in step 2, and 4 strands for the rest of the loops in step 2.

Step 2: Take the bottom 4 (or 5) strands from the dropped sts, hold them together, and
twist them half a turn to make a loop, * grab the next 4 strands together and pull them
through the loop (do not twist), repeat from * until all the dropped strands have been
turned into a chain. This can be done with your fingers, or with a large crochet hook. Leave
the last loop free, it will be worked into the bind off. Repeat for each set of dropped sts.

Bind Off: Bind off 8, slip the set of loops from the looped section onto the right needle, K1,
pass all remaining sts on the right needle over the st just made (1 st left on right needle)
[bind off 12, slip the set of loops from the looped section onto the right needle, K1, pass all
remaining sts on the right needle over the st just made (1 st left on right needle)] 4 times,
bind off remaining sts.
If the looseness on the bottom bothers you, then you can make a crochet slip stitch along
the bottom edge, place one slip stitch in each st, and one in the bottom of each loop.
Clip yarn, fasten off, and weave in all ends.
