Knitting Kit - Fern Field Wrap by Lisa Hannes

Pattern not included - you must purchase the pattern on Ravelry, see here. 

Pattern available in English.

A beautiful lace motif with matching small cables adorns this stunning shawl.

The Fern Field Wrap is a long, sideways-knitted shawl or stole. You start knitting at one point and then progress to the opposite point, creating an elongated diamond shape with an optional straight central section. This is a shape I find particularly enjoyable to knit and very easy to wear.

I made the original sample with a light fingering weight plied yarn held together with a fuzzy fingering weight yarn, which gives an equivalent DK weight. However, the pattern offers many easy adjustment options if you wish to use a different yarn weight and/or make a smaller or larger shawl depending on the yarn and yardage you have available.

Instructions are provided fully row by row as well as in chart form, so you can choose the format you prefer to follow.

I hope you enjoy this pattern!
