Every time the Olympics/Ravellenics are on I just watch sports and knit - and write patterns for the stuff I’m knitting!

This is the freebie pattern for this year.

I also publish a special collection of knits for the games - this year’s collection: Ravellenics 2021

And here is a link to the bundle with all the past Ravellenic patterns, and some relating to Japan - link

Shawl with this same stitch - Wigglin’

ERRATUM - Row 7 of the icord version should read to the last 4 sts. (not last 3)

You’ll probably be surprised how easy it is to make the wiggles, you only work with one colour at a time and slip the other - even beginners can do this.

The pattern includes 2 edgings - with icord, or without

you can adjust your cast-on number to get a narrower or wider strip
you can make a single or double loop

Allow approx. 100m/110 yds of each of 2 yarns for a single loop
Allow approx. 150-200m/165-200yds of each of 2 yarns for a double loop

you need good contrast between the yarns

The pattern is written for DK, but you can substitute worsted or aran if you like (you may wish to adjust cast-on numbers and it may affect the yardage requirements)
