Experience the ultimate in cozy comfort with the Grandiose Wrap, the perfect accessory for glamping in a lush forest retreat, for a charming weekend getaway, or for an indulgent staycation where you can truly unplug and unwind. This versatile triangle shawl begins with a unique bias construction that elegantly evolves into an enveloping rectangular wrap. The design highlights a stunning main color paired with a delightful mini-skein set, incorporating a delightful mix of stripe and eyelet-based stitch patterns that will keep your knitting experience engaging and enjoyable.

Detailed instructions ensure that all knitters, regardless of skill level, can create this gorgeous wrap with confidence. Each step is clearly outlined, and for those who prefer visual aids, charts for the eyelet-based lace patterns are also provided.
Size: Once completed, the Grandiose Wrap measures an impressive 104”/264 cm in length at the top, 80”/203 cm at the bottom, and boasts a comfortable depth of 18”/46 cm, making it the ideal size for both draping and wrapping.
Yarn: The pattern calls for Miss Babs Yowza (100% superwash merino wool; 560 yards/512m/225g); just 1 skein (A) is required, along with 3 skeins of Miss Babs Yowza Mini (100% superwash merino wool; 200 yards/182m/80g). The luxurious blend of merino wool ensures that your wrap will be not only beautiful but also warm and soft against your skin.
Other Materials: To create your Grandiose Wrap, you'll need a US 7 (4.5mm) 32” circular needle or a size that matches your gauge, along with 4 markers and a yarn needle to weave in ends and finish your project.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 18 stitches and 34 rows per 4” in garter stitch after blocking to ensure your wrap turns out just right. Maintaining the proper gauge is essential for the overall fit and appearance of your finished piece.
