Curiosity

Experience the joy of knitting with our unique wrap pattern, designed specifically to help you make the most out of your yarn stash. Knit until you run out of yarn—that’s the creative plan behind this versatile piece. Crafted using the luxurious Malabrigo Arroyo yarn in the stunning colorway Marte (which means Mars in Spanish), this design cleverly mirrors the spirit of the Mars Rover mission. This wonderfully shaped wrap falls beautifully between a shawl and a scarf; it transforms into a cozy shawl if you utilize a generous amount of yardage, or a stylish scarf if you prefer a more compact option. With its unisex appeal, this pattern is perfect for anyone looking to make a statement, allowing you to customize the final look based on your selected colors.

This pattern strategically combines stockinette and garter stitches, showcasing the vibrant variegated hues of Malabrigo yarn in all their glory. Our testers have explored various Malabrigo varieties to create this lovely shawl, including Malabrigo Sock, Malabrigo Lace held double, Malabrigo Rios, and Malabrigo Silky Merino, all of which have produced exquisite results. When choosing your needle for different yarn types, we recommend starting with one needle size larger than the largest size suggested for your chosen yarn. For heavier weight yarns, you might find that going up several sizes will create the desired drape and flow for your piece.

Whether you are an experienced knitter or a beginner looking to enhance your skills, this adaptable knitting pattern will inspire a sense of creativity and exploration. Wrap yourself in a labor of love and enjoy the process of crafting something uniquely yours with our Mars-inspired knitting pattern!
