Give Me Strength

***Introducing a one-of-a-kind knitting pattern designed during the Covid-19 Level 4 Lock Down in New Zealand in March 2020. This easy, mindless, and versatile project is perfect for knitters looking to creatively use their stash.*** This unique design is constructed as a **ONE PIECE** with built-in I-Cord edges, making it both functional and stylish.

Versatility is key! This pattern offers various options for adaptation, allowing you to create a scarf, wrap, or even a larger blanket. Unleash your creativity!

The sample pictured showcases the stunning **Baby/Knee Rug/Lap Blanket Version**, crafted using 12 x 20 gm, fingering weight speckled minis sourced from an Advent Calendar. This charming blanket was knitted **double stranded** with a solid, fingering weight yarn, resulting in a cozy yet visually appealing texture.

Thanks to the unique nature of the pattern stitch, this design is suitable for a wide range of yarn types. While it looks fabulous in speckled yarns, it also shines in solid, semi-solid, or tonal yarns, making it a versatile choice for any knitter’s collection.

This pattern is **BEGINNER FRIENDLY** and doubles as a fantastic SCRAPPY PROJECT. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced knitter, my hope is that this design will resonate particularly with those seeking a simple, enjoyable project to immerse themselves in—a true ‘happy place’ when times get tough. Grab your needles and dive into a world of creativity with this delightful knitting pattern!
