One Way Farm Wrap

 I designed (if a very simple knitted wrap can be called a design!) a shawl for the raffle basket my friend Jessica and I donated to Lori Foster’s Reader & Author Get Together last weekend. Since the proceeds from the raffle all go to One Way Farm, I named the shawl after them. I received a number of complimentary comments on the shawl, and so I typed up the pattern. This is so easy that a pattern isn’t needed, but a lot of knitters prefer something written down as opposed to vague verbal directions. See the link below for the pattern (such as it is!)

 

ONE WAY FARM WRAP        

        

I designed and knit this super easy shawl for a raffle basket at Lori Foster’s Annual Reader & Author Get Together. The proceeds from the raffle go to The One Way Farm, a non-profit organization located in Fairfield, Ohio, caring for the abused, abandoned, neglected, troubled youth, and children with disabilities and developmental disabilities. Learn more about them at www.OneWayFarm.org.
The shawl is light enough to wear around your neck like a scarf, but it can be draped around the shoulders to keep you warm in an overly air conditioned restaurant or theater.

Gauge isn’t too important here, but you can knit a swatch in elongated garter stitch to determine how many stitches you need to cast on for the width you like. Mine was 15″ x 46″ before blocking, and blocked to 13″ x 54″.  This isn’t so much a pattern as a guide. Feel free to make it wider, narrower, longer. Whatever you like is good!

Materials:

400-500 yards lace weight mohair yarn. I used Madil Kid Seta.
Size 8 knitting needles. A larger size would make the garter stitch even lighter and more open.
Hope you enjoy knitting it!
