free chevron wrap pattern
Approximate size is 46cm x 150 cm
To get you started with some ideas we have included two free patterns. A chevron wrap and a simple chunky scarf pattern.
The wrap uses the same chevron stitch pattern as our ‘free spirit’ throw. This time the shades are as per box colour, so the overall finished is more tonal.
This pattern is to get you started, if you wish to make a more generous size then why note supplement it with yarns from your stash.
Scarf Pattern
We have taken inspiration from our ‘BIG EASY’ scarf by combine three yarns to give a unique texture to this simple knit. Holding the mohair, cotton tape and chunky One Zero yarn together you simply knit away to the pattern. Viola, a super chunky scarf.
For those who want to go to the next level you can choose which yarns throw into the mix. Our suggestion is to keep the mohair throughout and switch out the other fibres as you wish, making sure you always work with three strands. Hmm I suppose you could use just two for a thinner vibe – maybe go down a needle size or two. But hey, you know all this right?
The picture above gives an idea of how three yarns work together. The image DOES NOT represent the shades or the exact yarns in the box.
