Giddy about Advent

Discover the enchanting Shawl/Wrap pattern designed exclusively for the Giddy Yarns Advent Calendar 2019, perfect for knitters of all skill levels and adaptable for any 4-ply/fingering yarn. This beautiful shawl is equally stunning in a single color, a gradient, or vibrant stripes, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe. The pattern primarily features easy-to-work garter stitch, enhanced with a delightful touch of lace, ensuring even beginners can enjoy the crafting process. It’s an ideal project for those looking to experiment with new lace techniques, as each lace pattern is provided in both written and charted formats for your convenience.

Yarn Requirements: You will need 24 x 10 g skeins of Giddy Yarns sock yarn, approximately 420m per 100g (this amounts to roughly 40m of each color), totaling an enjoyable 960m of yarn for the entire shawl. Needles: Use 3.75mm needles to achieve the best results. Gauge: In garter stitch (unblocked), aim for a gauge of 24 stitches per 10cm. Notions: Don't forget a stitch marker for the center stitch, and feel free to add extra stitch markers for tracking lace repeats (although these are not indicated in the pattern). The final measurements of your finished project will be an impressive 188cm (74”) in length and 40cm (15¾”) in width, providing ample coverage and warmth for any occasion.

This shawl wrap is not only functional but also a fabulous way to showcase your knitting skills and creativity. Whether you’re gifting it or keeping it for yourself, this pattern will bring joy to your knitting sessions. Dive into this lovely project, and experience the satisfaction of creating a handcrafted piece that you'll cherish for years to come!
