Rockport Wrap
40 miles Northeast of Boston, lies the coastal town Rockport. Still a working fishing port, its natural beauty has also made it a haven for artists and tourists. There’s almost always a breeze, just enough to warrant a wrap while walking the jetty, enjoying the seaside, or strolling through town.
Rockport Wrap has a nautical vibe, with relaxing ribbed right twists alternating with a garter slip pattern. You can cruise into vacation mode wherever you enjoy knitting and sport a classic and elegant wrap when you reach your destination. Page
