About this Pattern

This pattern is a fun and engaging project that results in a wrap shaped like a giant Christmas Cracker! Starting with sections of chevron lace, the wrap begins (and ends) in a zig-zag pattern, just like the end of a cracker. To create the classic cracker shape you then work decreases and some rows in a high contrast colour for the cracker band and then increases to bring the shape back to a rectangle.

Then comes the fun part! There are 6 different lace patterns to choose from and if you are feeling adventurous you could roll a dice to randomly select a lace pattern. Or you can mix and match your favourite patterns to create your own totally unique wrap! Alternatively, if lace knitting is not your thing you can knit the lace sections in stockinette stitch.

The wrap alternates between sections of lace and garter stitch which not only gives you some mindless, relaxing knitting between the lace, but also lots of lovely texture throughout the wrap.

This kit includes 2 skeins of 4ply sock weight yarn and one 10g mini-skein. The solid colour is a light silver and you can choose your main contrast colour from 3 different options, and your cracker band colour from either Gold or Bronze.
