The Wizard

Oscar Zoroaster was an extraordinary ventriloquist and balloonist who captivated audiences in Barnum & Bailey’s Great Consolidated Shows. His life took a whimsical turn when, one fateful day, his balloon ropes twisted and he floated away to the enchanting land of Oz. Inspired by this whimsical adventure, The Wizard knitting pattern brings the magic of hot air ballooning to your creative projects.

The stitch pattern on The Wizard showcases stunning high-contrast variegated colorways, skillfully combining no-wrap short rows with a unique knitting technique on the bias. As you knit, colors beautifully pool between garter-stitch stripes, evoking the captivating design of a hot air balloon's panels and gores. This exquisite stole is not only visually appealing but also stretchy and drapes delightfully, curling in gently at the edges for added charm.

This versatile pattern is easily adaptable to any yarn weight, allowing you to customize it to your heart's content. Simply select the right size needle, and you're ready to embark on your knitting journey. The pattern can be cast on in any multiple of 2 stitches, giving you the freedom to choose your own yardage and do as many repeats of the design as you like. Whether you’re using a luxurious worsted yarn or a lighter sport weight, The Wizard pattern invites knitters of all skill levels to experience the joy of creating a stunning accessory that celebrates the spirit of adventure.
