Shh! is a sport weight wrap or scarf to cozy up in as you dive into a good book at the library. Shaped like an elongated diamond, Shh! features a diamond of garter stitch at its center and sprigs of leafy lace that grow out to its tips. The wrap  begins and ends with just one stitch, so there is no need to cast on or bind off stitches. With its easy garter stitch beginning, simple, intuitive lace and garter stitch accents, this is an addictive project. Other library patrons may want to ask you about your pretty knit, but please remember to speak quietly in the library — shh! For best results when working with hand dyed yarns we strongly suggest alternating skeins of the same color throughout your project. Kit includes pdf & printed pattern and selected yarn.
