This wrap began as a gift for Geraldine's mom, and quickly became her go-everywhere layer for travel and everyday wear. When my aunt saw it, she asked for one of her own for her 70th birthday. Lightweight, cozy, and versatile, it’s the kind of piece you reach for again and again.
A timeless, gift-worthy project that’s as enjoyable to knit as it is to wear, the knitting itself is engaging and satisfying, featuring a fun mix of textures: some lace, simple cables, slipped stitches, and charted sections to keep things interesting. We’ve created three new colorways to complement the original and love them all!
Original: Subtle yet sophisticated, with gentle neutrals and a strong burst of color with the Rusted Roof.
Purples: Moody and romantic, blending soft lavender with rich plum for depth and elegance.
Blues: Calm and grounded, moving from pale, airy blues to deep lake tones for a fresh, soothing palette.
Earth Tones: Inspired by fields, forests, and weathered stone for a bright and lively view toward spring.
Skill Level:
Adventurous Beginner / Intermediate — You should be comfortable with knit and purl stitches and ready to learn basic lace, simple cables, slipped stitches, and reading charts.
Choose this option if you’re looking for a shared knitting experience, with community support, tutorials from Ashley and Geraldine, and a clear timeline with emailed reminders and check-ins and sit-and-knits to keep you moving forward.
Knit Along will commence Sunday, February 15. Video tutorials and reminder emails will go live then, and after a few days we'll arrange for in-person and remote meetups to go over questions. At a decent, but not heavily taxing daily rate, we'll complete our shawls in 3 weeks, though you're welcome to take however long you need.
If you’d prefer to knit at your own pace without the knit-along, see the Persimmon Wrap Kit (Yarn + Pattern) instead.
Suggested Needles: Size 6 (4mm) 24” circular needles
