The Chill Out pattern was designed by Elizabeth Beach. Our sample was knit in Miss Babs Yowza in the Eastern Bluebird colorway. The Cambridge Dictionary defines the phrase “chill out” as “to relax completely, or not allow things to upset you.” Sometimes in knitting I need a project which follows this mantra-where my mind is free to wander, and my hands are on autopilot. Short rows of garter stitch interspersed with a “gosh, that’s simple” lace pattern produces a wrap that is geometrically interesting and pleasing to the eye. This is a take-to-knitting club, knit-on-a-trip, no-stress kind of project. The short row turns are even no fuss. After you bind off the last two stitches, you’ll have a classic rectangular wrap that allowed you to chill out while knitting and is substantial enough to keep the chill out when there’s a nip in the air. It’s fully reversible to boot! You'll need two skeins of Yowza to complete this project. Choose the original colorway below − or try another color! The Chill Out pattern is available on Ravelry. All patterns are sold separately and not included with the purchase of yarn.
