I started knitting a wrap in a simple pattern.
You may use any yarn you choose, I picked a part mohair yarn that I had already had it was Patons Devine (it is a wool/acrylic/poly blend (in pink) that I had bought for a baby blanket who turned out to be a boy)
Use needles approx. twice the size recommended on the label of your yarn, my yarn recommended size 10 us needles and I used 17.
Amount: I used three skeins, which was plenty long with some left, at 142 yd's per ball or around 400 yards needed.
Recommended to knit a swatch and measure, remember your lace will stretch.
If you are a tight knitter, and don't like the look of your swatch. Use larger needles, you may also yo twice in row 4 (knit, yo, yo, knit continue.....)
Play around then when you are happy
Cast on 50 stitches ( 40 if using bulky yarn or you want your wrap shorter)
row 1 knit
row 2 knit
row 3 knit
row 4 *knit, yo* repeat
row 5 knit, drop all yo's from previous row
repeat rows 2-5 until your piece is long enoughOr make it a little longer as I did, I hate to waste yarn, and join the ends at a point, to create a poncho look.
You may also just throw it on, and use a shawl pin. This is a beautiful on Etsy by Irishfiddlers7 shop

back of shawl, or you can wear it to the side or front
Pic is in a different pattern, see below
You can make it long enough to reach just around your top portion and then
sewing the two ends together, join them with a twist, forming a mobius, which will twist in your front. (have fun with this, the above was done in a different pattern, look for a fun knitted pattern here, then cast on and create your mobius, as simple or complicated as you desire)
May your needles fly as fast as Dragonflies....

Well, accidental or not, it's very nice! I love moebius shawls. They are so versatile.
ReplyDeleteI love simple and easy shawl patterns that allow you to knit until you run out of yarn. It's so much more enjoyable.
