TIP Instead of placing a marker before and after
a single stitch, try using a removable stitch marker.
It will let you know it’s time to do something
differently without having to slip the markers on
each row. Instead, you can easily reposition it every
few rows.
Try using a removable marker in place of two stitch markers.
The colors flowed very well from one ball to the
next with the exception of the 4th ball. I wound off
a few yards so that the color would flow from the
previous ball . . . my personal preference only.
You may have noted that this is a very wide shawl,
but that was intentional so that it could be worn
several different ways . . . as a wrap (Left), as a
poncho closed with a shawl pin (Center), or tied (or
pinned) over one shoulder (Right) which makes a
great swimsuit cover-up.
Although there was a lot of knitting involved in this
project, it was worth it. I love the colors and the
diagonal striping effect of Universal Yarn Cotton Supreme
Waves, in Lagoon. It reminds me of the clear waters
of the Caribbean and will be a perfect wrap on a
breezy evening or as a cover-up over a swimsuit.
And it’s so soft. As promised earlier, here’s a link to
the PDF version of the original Lagoon Wrap pattern.
