Awa-Awa Wrap

AWA-AWA Knitting Pattern

Discover the beauty of Japanese knitting with the AWA-AWA pattern, inspired by the delicate, circular shapes of soap bubbles. This unique wrap design incorporates advanced knitting techniques, blending two colors of yarn to create exquisite marled fabric. Simultaneously, you'll be working with three different sizes of circles in a fair-isle pattern, using either of the two colors. This innovative method not only allows for intricate designs with minimal finishing but also results in a beautiful, completely reversible accessory. The clever trapping of the floats behind each circle adds a touch of finesse, making the AWA-AWA wrap a standout piece in your knitting collection.

To create your AWA-AWA wrap, you will need Yarn Tynd by Woolfolk, which is made of 100% Ovis 21 Ultimate Merino® wool. Each skein weighs 50 grams and contains 219 yards. For this project, you will require:

• 5 skeins in White #1 (Main Color, MC)
• 5 skeins in Light Blue #9 (Contrast Color, CC)

Alternatively, you can use 1100 yards (1006 meters) of each color in fingering weight yarn, holding one strand of each color together throughout the project. This flexibility allows for creativity and customization in your color choices.

Gauge: Ensure your knitting is consistent with the following gauge measurements for best results:

• Working gauge: 21 stitches and 44 rows = 4" [10 cm] in garter stitch, before blocking.
• Blocking gauge: 18 stitches and 30 rows = 4" [10 cm] in garter stitch, after blocking.

With the AWA-AWA knitting pattern, you can create a stunning wrap that not only showcases your knitting skills but also provides warmth and elegance. Perfect for both casual wear and special occasions, this project is sure to be a cherished addition to your wardrobe or a thoughtful gift for a loved one.
