This is the fourth knit pattern in the “Our Yarn Studio” mystery yarn along for 2023. It was designed to represent all the rain in April that makes things green and grow. This is mainly designed to make a lap blanket using the Sweet Georgia Worsted, but also includes modifications for a shawl and scarf for those who are looking to make something with fingering weight yarn or want to join in on the fun of the year long mystery project, but don’t want to knit a whole blanket. You can purchase yarn from www.ouryarnstudio.com or use any worsted (lap blanket & scarf) or fingering or DK (shawl) from your stash and join in on all the fun!

Please keep in mind that I am a super loose knitter. So while gauge isn’t too important, if you have a limited amount of yarn set aside for this project (like you’re making the lap blanket and you only bought 1 skein) please check your gauge!

Yarn I used per size:
Lap blanket: 205 yards of the Sweet Georgia Worsted. (I know the skein says it only has 200 yards, but most of the time it is overweight and you get the 205 yards. If you don’t want to play yarn chicken like I did, you can go down one needle size and that should give you plenty of yarn
Shawl: 140 yards of the Bad Sheep Yarns in DK.
Scarf: 49 yards of the Sweet Georgia Worsted.

Here is the list of the pattern names for the previous months that are a part of this knit along. The patterns can be found in my pattern store here on Ravelry, or if you want to participate with using the Sweet Georgia Yarn, you can order a catch up kit at www.ouryarnstudio.com, and it will come with the yarn and patterns.
