Dayflowers and Honeybees Wrap
This exquisite rectangular-shaped wrap is a must-have addition to your knitting repertoire. Featuring a stunning central panel adorned with a dayflower stitch pattern, this wrap is elegantly framed by delicate mermaid mesh lace, complemented by running edges showcasing a charming honeybee pattern.
As a delightful surprise, the end of the shawl culminates in a breathtaking section of Shetland lace diamonds, adding an extra layer of sophistication to your finished piece.
For this project, I utilized just under 2-1/2 skeins of Cherry Tree Hill Supersock solids (made from luxurious merino wool) in a captivating shade of purple. In total, you'll need approximately 1,050 yards (or 960 meters) to knit a beautiful wrap that measures an impressive 68 inches long by 20 inches wide (172 x 50 cm).
This versatile shawl can easily be customized to your desired length by simply adjusting the number of pattern repeats you knit. When using US4 (3.5mm) needles, each pattern repeat yields approximately 7 inches, allowing you to create a wrap that perfectly suits your style.
The detailed instructions are conveniently written out, row by row, making this pattern accessible for knitters of various skill levels. Additionally, you will need 4 stitch markers for this pattern. Although I typically do not use stitch markers, they are essential for maintaining your place and ensuring accuracy with this intricate design.
Whether you're an experienced knitter looking for a new challenge or a beginner eager to expand your skills, this wrap is not only a practical accessory but also a beautiful expression of your crafting passion. Start your journey with this elegant shawl today and create a stunning piece that you’ll cherish for years to come.
