“Don’t be a fool, Bilbo Baggins!” he said to himself, “thinking of dragons and all that outlandish nonsense at your age!” So he put on an apron, lit fires, boiled water, and washed up. Then he had a nice little breakfast in the kitchen before turning out the dining-room. By that time the sun was shining; and the front door was open, letting in a warm spring breeze. Bilbo began to whistle loudly and to forget about the night before. In fact he was just sitting down to a nice little second breakfast in the dining-room by the open window, when in walked Gandalf.
~The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkein

Second Breakfast Wrap is part of my collection of patterns inspired by The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien. This rectangular shawl is designed to be used with either 24 mini skeins and 1 full size skein, or 4 full size skeins. Different sections of alternating patterns and colors represent the various meals that hobbits enjoy throughout the day, even as they travel on epic quests, because there’s always time for second breakfast!
