Knit along as the seasons change and a wine is produced. Begin with the earth and vines in winter, spring leaf and bud break, grapes appearing in summer, fall harvest and making of the wine, and finish up with aging and enjoying. This flowing wrap is knit in a luxurious yarn with wonderful drape. Glistening beads add just a touch of sparkle and weight for lovely flowing movement.

Gauge: 21 sts & 28 rows / 4” (10 cm) average over pattern stitches after blocking using US 2-5 (2.5-3.75 mm). Each pattern may have slight gauge differences; block the shawl to even it out to average gauge.
Gauge is not critical for this project; a different gauge will yield a different size and have different yarn requirements.
