Ever wondered what to knit with all those gorgeous mini skein sets? What to knit with some little odds and ends you have left over from various projects? I have a great idea for you: Pieces Wrap. This wrap uses a total of twenty-two mini skeins: one set of twelve mini-skeins with a mix of all the colors and one with a ten mini-skein fade.
Pieces Wrap is all about the colors and wonderful squishy garter stitch. it’s worked in one piece, but in three phases. First you knit a center diamond in one direction, then another picking up stitches from the previous diamond. Finally, you work a faded garter stitch border around the whole thing. this wrap is both easy and fun!
MATERIALS
Yarn: 22 mini skeins of Merino Sock by Botanical Yarn (100% Superwash Merino; 92 yds (85 m) per 20 g). The sample shawl shown in pictures uses a 12-skein set of mixed colorways and a 10-skein grey-purple fade set (Allium Fade). Approx. 1920 yds (1760 m) of fingering weight yarn.
Needles: US 6 (4 mm) circular needles, 32” (80 cm) long at least
SIZING
Finished measurements of the wrap: 86” (216 cm) long and 22” (55 cm) deep.
