This is a pattern for a knit wrap that features several Estonian stitches, both gathered and lace, combined in a beautiful wrap. However, unlike many Estonian shawls, in which you knit the edging separately, and then sew or graft it on, I have modified the edging, so that it is knitted on, which is way most of use are used to adding on our borders. There are also instructions contained within the pattern for an optional crocheted edging. If you’ve never tried Estonian gathered stitches, you might enjoy learning them with this pattern.

Skill Level: Intermediate (assuming a basic knowledge of lace knitting).

The pattern for all the stitches are both charted and written out line by line.

The wrap was expertly pattern tested by Barbara Robertson, who can be contacted at: Barb. Robertson@gmail.com, and who is known on Ravelry as NanaKnits4Us. This shawl was knit with Lorna’s Laces Sportmate yarn Since this yarn is not available, Fleece Artists BFL Sport would be a good substitute.

The pattern is for sale here on Ravelry and in my Etsy shop in the Int-Adv Shawl Pattern Section (https://www.etsy.com/shop/WearableArtEmporium?section_id=...)
