Helllooooo! Hope you all are having a great week! I'm dipping my toes into the world of wrap cardigans and bringing you along with me. Leave your thoughts on wrap cardigans down in the comments! ❤ Alright, I'm going to wrap this up. 🥁 😘
Thanks for all the work you do in putting together these episodes. I appreciate the patterns and how you have grouped them into types, styles, techniques, etc. and episodes. I look forward to each one and what you will come up with every week. 🍂
My first thought after your intro was "You mean the WRAP-it hole???" :) lol yay dad jokes. Thank you for the pattern round up! I've been thinking about making this style of cardigan for a while and now have tons of inspiration.
I need a wrap cardigan for yoga in the winter time, as I'm always chilly in class. I had totally forgotten that during the summer. Thank you for reminding me, and just in time for me to make one before it gets cold ❤
Funny thing. I was just going down the wrap dress rabbit hole and thinking there aren’t enough good wrap dress patterns. I was even thinking of possibly trying to come up with my own wrap dress pattern. I think you definitely have a point with the set in sleeves and possibly seaming so that it has some structure. It’s giving me ideas. 🤔
Well, now that you're knitting a wrap cardigan, you need to wear it over overalls!😂 Also, at some point, I want to knit Florence Miller's Robinson wrap. I love how fitted it is, and it makes me so happy!
This is a very interesting, diverse collection and i like some of them very much. I own a manufactured wrap cardigan that looks knitted and i happen to just adore everything about it. I've thought about trying to knit another one. It has Bell lace sleeves, fisherman's rib top to the high waist, and i think garter on the lower half. The edges are one inch stockinette, the purl side. It's just wonderful over so many things! I have another that's bright striped, which limits its use, but it's very volumnus, and gets longer diagonally in front. So you can wrap it all the way around yourself and really feel cocooned. And it's a light knit too... Again, manufactured. But feminine and lovely 🌹
I love the piece you're wearing. And the color! I may have to add a couple of these that you've presented here to the queue as I definitely want more cardis 👍🏾
I noticed how nice you look with that wrap top you have on. This style is flattering on you! I like the Klint. It is somewhat structured with the set-in sleeves. It also looks slightly drapey... so it will fall nicely, too.
Im currently working on the Robinson Wrap Cardigan by Handmade by Florence in a sparkle rust dk yarn from hobby lobby. Im planning on wearing for fall with black jeans and boots. Yes i have the outfit planned in my head already haha. Thank you for the lineup! 🎃❤️
Ask an ex ballet dancer, I really miss wrap cardigans!! I may have to join you in this venture, I think the Clint one is the pretties and best of both worlds with cardigans and wraps! ❤Thanks again for a great roundup!
I have two wrap cardigans that I wear (tied) over my denim overalls and a pair of light cotton overalls from Thailand. I have no pics, but I think I look fabulous!
I was looking at wrap cardigans and hour ago on Ravelry, then I opened UA-cam and this was my first recommended - well played YT! 😂 I’m soo excited for this roundup. I was planning to make the Levitate Wrap but this video may make up my mind!!
When you mention wearing a wrap sweater over anything, check out the images of the wrap sweater scarf by knitatude. Worn over a wedding gown is stunning.
Hahaha ok now I really need a wrap cardigan. I love deep v-necks and wrapped thingys as I find them very flattering on me (tall + curvy). I've been meaning to make one for a while, so thanks for delivering all these patterns right to my doorstep 😁
Wrap cardigans are great. I love the one you are wearing in this Ramble the color is perfect on you. I like a more structured wrap and yes it is more slimming and being vertically challenged looking a bit taller is a plus with this style. I have made a couple one using a worsted weight yarn and another more ballet type sports-weight yarn love them both. Enjoy the search💕. Iris
I dunno if its considered a cardigan, but the current summer issue of pom pom mag has a cap sleeve wrapover top that is on my list! But now I’m considering one of these patterns instead lol
Those are wonderful selections for the bundle. Recently , I have been feeling I need a good wrap sweater in my life. The inspiration and eye candy are appreciated.
These are great pattern ideas. I also love that you create these bundles on Ravelry and share with us all. I have been looking at the wrap cardigans too recently, but you have found some really good ones here. I need a cardigan…. Maybe it should be a wrap 🧐
This was so lovely, thanks 🥰 During our craft time I worked on the cutest tiny dress for my new niece due in a few months. My first time trying seed stitch and I am obsessed with it
I love a v-neck cardigan ❤. Your debate of a wrap cardi is strong! I had never considered a wrap cardi, but I am now on the hunt.😂 Thank you for your videos! Love your energy. 😊
The Devote is elegantísima!!! Lemon is youthful and modern. Many pretty garments, I think you’re onto something here. The versatility also applies to the wearability in different or changing weather conditions.
Thanks for the bundle! I love wraps, for exactly all the reasons you mentioned. I wear a store bought wrap SO much, its time i have a hand knit one!! And btw, a not too thick wrap UNDER overalls looks super cute!
I haven't yet knit a cardigan so can't officially say this - but one thing *I'm* really excited about is using less yarn because of the open front, and not having to do buttonholes!!! lol also - your thoughts on the concept of "flattering" were expressed beautifully, and I totally agree!
Love the idea of a wrap,,,being a beginner knitter it would be a challenge I'm willing to undertake if I find the right pattern. I'm with you on trying one.
I love the idea of a wrapped cardigan ❤ Gives me cosy vibes. Don’t know if the following helps with your decision making process - but there is a lot of double knitting involved with the levitate wrap from MFTK
Thank you Tayler. You have inspired me to make a wrap 🎉and I appreciate the bundle. Another beautiful wrap is the Robinson Wrap Cardigan by Florence Miller of the Handmade by Florence podcast.
I love this!!! I have been low key looking at wrap cardigans and now I’m all in. One that I didn’t see on your line up (unless I missed it) was the Robinson Wrap Cardigan by Florence Miller. It is on my list for sure. It’s a fitted cropped ballerina looking one that I think is very beautiful.
i got my first wrap top last year (in linen fabric) and it opened my eyes! i’ve never knit/crocheted a sweater, but i’m thinking maybe i should start with a wrap cardigan ✨
Sold! It’s funny I was just thinking about wrap cardigans as Sari Nordland showed a gorgeous one on her podcast the other day…she is hoping to publish it in September.
Love the wrap you are wearing in the video 😉. Was just considering knitting one and was not having sucess finding "the one" on ravelry. Thanks for the bundle to get a beter start
I'm finishing up the Darjeeling Cardigan this week! (hopefully) and I love it. I did decide to make it duster length and don't plan on doing the bottom ribbing. But it's so close after being on pause for the warmer months!! I also want to make the Robinson Wrap by Florence (I have the yarn I just need to start). But I'm really loving the Shape cardigan you shared....Hmmmmmm
HI Taylor, I love you podcasts; I look forward to them each week. I know I'm always going to be entertained, probably learn something new, and always feel a bit of a kindred friendship with you while I watch. I have to say I don't really love the wrap vibe though - especially on my body type, which is sort of an apple shape - no natural waist line (anymore, thanks, babies). So now a wrap just looks like I'm putting a ribbon on my tummy - like I would have when I was pregnant and wanting to show off my baby bump. I'd love for you to prove me wrong though! (I am quite tall, so a cropped wrap that sometimes looks good on shorter and curvier bodies and tucks under/near the bra line would just again accentuate belly fat... not a look I'd wear.)
Thank you so much for your kind words Kristy. And I understand what you mean regarding wraps. I think that looking through some of the options out there that aren’t tied or belted would open up some possibilities. But I do know what you mean. I love my children fiercely, but I will be the first to tell you, or to commiserate the notion that our children are the reason we can’t have nice things. Lol 😉
Thanks for all your research work on this! Great selection of patterns. I have been looking for a wrap pattern and I think I found 2 that I was to cast on.
With a wrap, make sure an anchor point is made on the inner wrap fold secured by a button or another tie. As like the typical "surgical theatre gown" they dont stay in place if absent.
I used to watch a British wardrobe styling channel. The podcaster pointed out the a deep V is very flattering for women with a larger bust, as it breaks up the front of the garment and makes one look les busty/stout (if that is what one is aiming for). No need to flaunt one’s cleavage…just layer the ballerina cardigan over a tank/camisole.
Thanks! I tried to crochet a wrap cardi however it didn't work for me. Frogged back the front panels and made it into a v-neck. May give it a go in a knit version someday. Your picks are beautiful and will wait to see the cast on.
The Klint Wrap is very like the shirt you’re wearing, a very flattering, sleek look. I think we could all create a new fashion fad. Agree with all your thoughts on this garment style. Now to look at the Ravelry bundle…
I was looking at these and I think it would be fun to do shawl designs as the wrap front panels. I am even picturing a wrap cardigan with two different shawl pattern front panels and a rectangular shawl back panel. You could go simple with one color or theme, or go crazy with color and texture. Talk about a rabbit hole... 😂 Also, I have a ton of sari wrap skirts and a wrap cardigan will be the perfect addition to them. Looks like I need about 6 to match all my skirts, lol.
Diane Von Furstenberg created the wrap dress and it's classic and flattering, and a wrap cardi is the same, I have a book with a pattern and it's been on my make list😅🎉❤❤
I've knitted 2 wrap front cardigans over the years and I find that I really never wear them. The Anaheim by Andy Satterlund is lace and fastens with buttons at the waist, but usually i just can't be bothered to button it and I dont love howitzer looks on me open. My other was the Dahlia from an Interweave Magazine and the back is beautiful, but the waist doesn't cinch in at all and I struggle to style that in a way I like - and I dont love it open. It always makes me feel like im giving Art Teacher vibes, which is not me lol.
I´m planning to make the Luna Wrap Around by Celina Dyhring in hazelnut brown, casting it on in the next few weeks. I´m really looking forward to it. What I appreciate is it´s loose fit. It´s not oversized it has this casual fit that I really love.
I have this wrap in my queue currently: Wrapid by Margaux Hufnagel. I thought at first it was crochet, but it is knitting, and free! I want to use a variegated yarn, as the picture indicates in dk weight. 😊
Hi Taylor! About the Levitate wrap, the inside closure doesn't have a strap to attach it. I saw other people made it and the inside flap was just going out of the wrap because of this issue. I would suggest to add a strap to the inside flap too but that would mean to add also a hole on the side. Like that, the inside stripe could go over the top and one could tie it with the outside strap. I hope I am making sense here ! 😅
This is very interesting and will explore further. It does hit me in the same place that all types of wool sweaters with a deep v neck or wide body neck does: for what type of weather would you wear a warm wool sweater and leave your shoulders and neck open to the cold breezes?
Another wonderful video!! Do you mind sharing what you are wearing? I so appreciate you sharing your pondering about your making. It inspires me to do more of it myself! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! And I’m actually wearing a wrap tank from Madewell. I bought it a few years ago. I wish I could give you a more productive answer. 🥴 It’s the only wrap-style top I have and I always feel like it’s very flattering. Another reason I started considering the wrap cardigan. ☺️❤️
Never knew there were so many reasons to wear this kind of garment! Do you play the wrap market? Haha, I could have listened to you for hours going on about the pros of this cardigan. I'm a crocheter and after watching your vlog, I found some great patterns that I saved in my library!
I don’t know if this is something you’ve shared but I would love to hear how you got into knitting garments and what the drive or passion was behind it. What emotions were you experiencing when you first started with garment knitting? I really want to get into knitting some sweaters or something but I’m still incredibly intimidated by it. I’m mostly intimidated because I am plus size and I know a sweater is going to take me so long. Do you have advice for starting a long project or just advice for this situation? Thankyou so much for reading this! I love watching your videos ♥️
Hilarious rabbit-holing (is that a word?). There's another by Florence Miller, Robinson Wrap Cardigan - she's another UA-camr so has a vid on it. But thanks, added Songbird to my gazillions-long queue.
I love the idea of a wrapped cardigan, but I’m 5’ 1/2” and the longer “smoking jacket-like” styles always make me look shorter. Maybe a waist-length pattern would be better for me. Right now, I’m learning to knit socks, but I could see a wrap cardigan in my future! 😊
This is an excellent point. The length is really the thing that could make any cardigan work or not work depending on your height. I know even for me (and technically I’m not short), longer cardigans can easily be too long.
Helllooooo! Hope you all are having a great week! I'm dipping my toes into the world of wrap cardigans and bringing you along with me. Leave your thoughts on wrap cardigans down in the comments! ❤
Alright, I'm going to wrap this up. 🥁
😘
You're Awesome Tayler
🐇 ⚫ 🖤
thank you for All the positive inspiration ✨ 🙏 ❤
Thank you so much for creating the bundles in Ravelry. I appreciate not having to continually pause the video and frantically search for the pattern 😅
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
Same!
Agree totally!!
😂
Thanks for all the work you do in putting together these episodes. I appreciate the patterns and how you have grouped them into types, styles, techniques, etc. and episodes. I look forward to each one and what you will come up with every week. 🍂
Lol, thanks for the giggles! 😂 Beautiful wrap cardigans! Thank you for sharing your finds, Tayler. 🌵
My first thought after your intro was "You mean the WRAP-it hole???" :) lol yay dad jokes. Thank you for the pattern round up! I've been thinking about making this style of cardigan for a while and now have tons of inspiration.
Ooo I love a good pun! 🐇🕳️

Agreed the yarn, you, and the Klint. Perfection ❤
I love adjustable clothes that work with weight fluctuations, great options!
I see you coordinating your outfit and your mug...props! 👍
This is a very interesting, diverse collection and i like some of them very much. I own a manufactured wrap cardigan that looks knitted and i happen to just adore everything about it.

I believe Sari Knits is coming out with a gorgeous wrap pattern with some lace detail this fall. Look forward to making that pattern😊
I love the piece you're wearing. And the color! I may have to add a couple of these that you've presented here to the queue as I definitely want more cardis 👍🏾

An very enjoyable episode as always Tayler, gorgeous patterns. Very excited to see what you decide to knit 🥰
Out of those three, I would go for the "Shape" because I love longer cardigans. I think they look elegant.
The “Robinson Wrap” is gorgeous!
Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for.
I have two wrap cardigans that I wear (tied) over my denim overalls and a pair of light cotton overalls from Thailand. I have no pics, but I think I look fabulous!
I am sure that whatever you decide to make, it will be beautiful... and I am looking forward to seeing what it is.
So many pretty possibilities!!
I never comment Taylor but i don’t miss a video! You are so inspirational and a natural teacher. Off to start a wrap!!!!
I was looking at wrap cardigans and hour ago on Ravelry, then I opened UA-cam and this was my first recommended - well played YT! 😂 I’m soo excited for this roundup. I was planning to make the Levitate Wrap but this video may make up my mind!!
Yes!! I have been wanting to knit a wrap cardigan, too! I can’t wait to explore your bundle. Thank you for doing the work to collect these for us. ❤
My pleasure Heather! Thank you for watching! ❤️
When you mention wearing a wrap sweater over anything, check out the images of the wrap sweater scarf by knitatude. Worn over a wedding gown is stunning.
This is exactly what I needed to see today.
The Ballerina Top by Two of Wands has been on my to do list for a while. Thanks for taking us on a little trip down the wrap cardigan rabbithole 😊
Hahaha ok now I really need a wrap cardigan. I love deep v-necks and wrapped thingys as I find them very flattering on me (tall + curvy). I've been meaning to make one for a while, so thanks for delivering all these patterns right to my doorstep 😁
You will be most stylish hockey mom in the area! Go for the wrap cardi
Noooo I do not need more projects....OK may be I just have a look😂😂😂
Just a wee bit of a look. 🤏❤
Same.
My fav is the last one you showed, “Shape”. I love the length of it. Thanks for showing some of the possibilities. 🧶
I love making cardigans but have never made a wrap one. Thanks for inspiring me to go down the wrap cardigan rabbit hole!
Wrap cardigans are great. I love the one you are wearing in this Ramble the color is perfect on you.

Thank you for your videos! Love your energy. 😊
❤❤❤❤❤ been eying some of these patterns myself. Love your ravelry bundles thanks!
If you’re going to choose between the 3 you shared with us then my vote is for the Klint 😊
The Devote is elegantísima!!! Lemon is youthful and modern. Many pretty garments, I think you’re onto something here. The versatility also applies to the wearability in different or changing weather conditions.
What a great idea!!! Perfect stash project for fall. Thnx for the lightbulb moment.
Thanks for the bundle! I love wraps, for exactly all the reasons you mentioned. I wear a store bought wrap SO much, its time i have a hand knit one!! And btw, a not too thick wrap UNDER overalls looks super cute!

Love a wrap, own none… yet. Thanks for the inspiration 💕
Okay, you've convinced me! Off to go stalk your wrap cardigan bundle.
The Klint does look stunning. I have a dress that would look great with that. Umm. Looks like I maybe adding that pattern to my favorites ❤
Love the idea of a wrap,,,being a beginner knitter it would be a challenge I'm willing to undertake if I find the right pattern. I'm with you on trying one.

I just cast on the Wrapover cardigan last week - it’s been on my list of things to do since the spring. Thank you for the other options!
Great now I'm falling down yet another project hole❤❤❤❤😅
Don’t worry. You’re not alone in your descent. 😊❤
Sari Nordlund is releasing a wrap cardigan in September
Sold! It’s funny I was just thinking about wrap cardigans as Sari Nordland showed a gorgeous one on her podcast the other day…she is hoping to publish it in September.
Love the wrap you are wearing in the video 😉. Was just considering knitting one and was not having sucess finding "the one" on ravelry. Thanks for the bundle to get a beter start
I like the Klint wrap sweater the best! I also have Knitting Pure and Simple's Neckdown Wrap Sweater pattern which I like a lot!!
Loved this podcast! I am going to try the Klint cardigan even though I am a fairly new knitter. Thanks, Tayler!!
I'm finishing up the Darjeeling Cardigan this week! (hopefully) and I love it. I did decide to make it duster length and don't plan on doing the bottom ribbing. But it's so close after being on pause for the warmer months!! I also want to make the Robinson Wrap by Florence (I have the yarn I just need to start). But I'm really loving the Shape cardigan you shared....Hmmmmmm
Damnit, now I need a wrap cardigan! LOL
Tell me about it! 😅
I’ve had the Darmody wrap in my queue for EVER!! Maybe it’s time 😊
HI Taylor, I love you podcasts; I look forward to them each week. I know I'm always going to be entertained, probably learn something new, and always feel a bit of a kindred friendship with you while I watch. I have to say I don't really love the wrap vibe though - especially on my body type, which is sort of an apple shape - no natural waist line (anymore, thanks, babies). So now a wrap just looks like I'm putting a ribbon on my tummy - like I would have when I was pregnant and wanting to show off my baby bump. I'd love for you to prove me wrong though! (I am quite tall, so a cropped wrap that sometimes looks good on shorter and curvier bodies and tucks under/near the bra line would just again accentuate belly fat... not a look I'd wear.)
Thank you so much for your kind words Kristy. And I understand what you mean regarding wraps. I think that looking through some of the options out there that aren’t tied or belted would open up some possibilities. But I do know what you mean.
I love my children fiercely, but I will be the first to tell you, or to commiserate the notion that our children are the reason we can’t have nice things. Lol 😉
You’re not alone, I don’t like wraps either. I have never liked garments with waist ties, I find them uncomfortable to wear.
Thanks for all your research work on this! Great selection of patterns. I have been looking for a wrap pattern and I think I found 2 that I was to cast on.
You are so welcome! So glad you found something you like. ❤
I love these wrap cardigans! But it would take me forever
With a wrap, make sure an anchor point is made on the inner wrap fold secured by a button or another tie. As like the typical "surgical theatre gown" they dont stay in place if absent.
Okaaayyyyy, Tayler, we are on the same wavelength!! I've been wrestling with if I want to start an Eclair sweater next or a wrap cardigan!!
Omg the struggle is reeeeeaaaallllll!❤
Can't wait to see your progress.
I used to watch a British wardrobe styling channel. The podcaster pointed out the a deep V is very flattering for women with a larger bust, as it breaks up the front of the garment and makes one look les busty/stout (if that is what one is aiming for).

Great ideas! Last year I made "Judy's Grandmother's Baby Sweater" for a cousin's baby and I wish I could figure out the math to make one for me
I was looking at these and I think it would be fun to do shawl designs as the wrap front panels. I am even picturing a wrap cardigan with two different shawl pattern front panels and a rectangular shawl back panel. You could go simple with one color or theme, or go crazy with color and texture. Talk about a rabbit hole... 😂

You have me convinced 😂. I’ll add one to my queue. I liked the Shape cardigan you showed but they don’t do my size. Sad times.
I´m planning to make the Luna Wrap Around by Celina Dyhring in hazelnut brown, casting it on in the next few weeks. I´m really looking forward to it. What I appreciate is it´s loose fit. It´s not oversized it has this casual fit that I really love.
Do I spy a fall wrap-a-long coming? 👀🤔💪
I have this wrap in my queue currently: Wrapid by Margaux Hufnagel. I thought at first it was crochet, but it is knitting, and free! I want to use a variegated yarn, as the picture indicates in dk weight. 😊
My mum made me the Collins in yellow....sublime!!!
I dunno but wrapped cardigans could look like a bathrobe to my 4'11" frame 😅
Hi Taylor! About the Levitate wrap, the inside closure doesn't have a strap to attach it. I saw other people made it and the inside flap was just going out of the wrap because of this issue. I would suggest to add a strap to the inside flap too but that would mean to add also a hole on the side. Like that, the inside stripe could go over the top and one could tie it with the outside strap. I hope I am making sense here ! 😅
Makes perfect sense! Thank you so much for letting me know. That’s a big deal. ❤️
Zosia… I mean… just WOW!
Makes me think 🧐 my daughter wants a cardigan, maybe I can convince her she wants a cardigan. I’ll have her watch this.
This is very interesting and will explore further. It does hit me in the same place that all types of wool sweaters with a deep v neck or wide body neck does: for what type of weather would you wear a warm wool sweater and leave your shoulders and neck open to the cold breezes?
Thanks for opening this new world to us! What is the yellow wrap cardigan-like garment you are wearing in the video?
You’re very welcome! Thank you for watching. And I’m wearing a wrap tank from the company Madewell. It’s one of my favorite summer tops!
Love wraps now!!❤
Yay! Me too!
Another wonderful video!! Do you mind sharing what you are wearing? I so appreciate you sharing your pondering about your making. It inspires me to do more of it myself! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! And I’m actually wearing a wrap tank from Madewell. I bought it a few years ago. I wish I could give you a more productive answer. 🥴 It’s the only wrap-style top I have and I always feel like it’s very flattering. Another reason I started considering the wrap cardigan. ☺️❤️
I found it! A wrap cardigan does not go well over a wrap dress!!!!😁😁😁
Never knew there were so many reasons to wear this kind of garment! Do you play the wrap market? Haha, I could have listened to you for hours going on about the pros of this cardigan. I'm a crocheter and after watching your vlog, I found some great patterns that I saved in my library!

Hilarious rabbit-holing (is that a word?). There's another by Florence Miller, Robinson Wrap Cardigan - she's another UA-camr so has a vid on it. But thanks, added Songbird to my gazillions-long queue.
I love the idea of a wrapped cardigan, but I’m 5’ 1/2” and the longer “smoking jacket-like” styles always make me look shorter. Maybe a waist-length pattern would be better for me. Right now, I’m learning to knit socks, but I could see a wrap cardigan in my future! 😊
This is an excellent point. The length is really the thing that could make any cardigan work or not work depending on your height. I know even for me (and technically I’m not short), longer cardigans can easily be too long.
Thanks!
Check out the crochet Ripple Wrap Cardigan on Ravelry.
So now I'm going down the wrap cardigan rabbit hole...😅
