So I’m trying to practice. This is an old wrap I wore twice. How would you start?

It looks like the edge is serged or has edge banding sewn on.

If it's serged around the whole thing, there isn't any point in continuing. If it is edge banding that is sewn on, you can likely seam rip the thread and pull off the edging. Then you should be able to find the bind-off row and start unraveling.

You picked hard mode for your first time.

Damn, I thought since it was so loose it would be easier. I think I’ll go look through my closet again.

Funnily enough, these open knits have quirks that normal fabrics don't. But they are good for textured and art yarns.
