This shawl was designed as part of the 2020 Mad Scientist Yarns Advent Calendar and those who purchased the calendar will receive an early-release of the pattern. The pattern will be officially released on 1st January 2021.

The kit I used was Jekyll on the Stellar 4ply base.
The yarns I used can be purchased individually from the Mad Scientist Yarns website www.madscientistyarns.com although please note that at the time of publishing, there are no more advent kits available for this pattern - only full size skeins.


This pattern is a one-size semi-circular wrap designed to look like an exploding star. Working from the inside out this shawl expands into a cacophony of textures and colours that will wrap you entirely with its almost 3m wingspan!
