So Long

Introducing "So Long," a heartfelt labour of love that beautifully captures the essence of comfort and remembrance. This long, snug, and soft wrap is designed to be treasured for years to come. Originally crafted for my dear Mum, Maggie, this piece holds special significance as I couldn't finish it before her passing due to cancer. In her memory, all profits from this design will be generously donated to Marie Curie Cancer Care, the remarkable organization that provided support during her journey.

"So Long" is versatile — it can be worn as a wrap or an exceptionally wide scarf, allowing you to bundle up cosily around your neck. The design drapes elegantly over your arms or around your body, offering warmth and comfort. This exquisite wrap features a unique construction of continuous welts, imparting an extra squishy, cozy feel that makes it perfect for chilly days.

Knitted on the bias in a stunning parallelogram shape, the wrap showcases an interesting visual effect with an ever-increasing distance between the welts, followed by a gradual decrease as you progress to the end of the piece. This innovative technique not only adds depth to the finished product but also enhances your knitting experience.

The pattern comes with detailed instructions for both a one-colour version and a vibrant multi-colour version, complete with a beautiful I-cord edging. Whether you choose a classic look or a more modern aesthetic, you’ll find joy in creating this wrap. Additionally, the pattern includes comprehensive instructions for creating the welts and the I-cord, making it easy for knitters of all skill levels to follow along.

Embrace the warmth and love encapsulated in "So Long," and join me in supporting a worthy cause while indulging your passion for knitting. Whether you’re crafting it for yourself or a loved one, this wrap is sure to become a cherished addition to any wardrobe.
