  1. I have tried this pattern twice now & I don’t get the ridges that are shown in the pattern- what am I doing wrong/ Are the knit stitches perhaps not ewrap??

  2. The knit stitches are a “knit stitch” not ewrap. You may substitute with a U-knit stitch. An ewrap will look different and it will create a larger item.
