Slip-stitch sparks fly outward in this two-color fingering weight wrap. Sparkler begins in its center with a striped diamond featuring columns of sparks in each of its corners. When the diamond is complete, two columns of sparks continue out toward the wrap’s tapered garter stitch tips.

Between the stripes and the sparks, you will be captivated by this eye-catching knit. Light your sparkler, and let the fun begin!

Instructions are fully written, with optional charts.

Miss Babs Avon
85% Merino Wool, 15% Silk; 490 yd/3.5 oz (448 m/100 g) skeins
2 skeins in main color, shown in Plover and 1 skein in contrasting color, shown in Wolfsbane

Or approximately 630 yards/576 meters of fingering weight yarn in main color and 310 yards/284 meters in contrasting color.
