Sparkler
If you add 4 of my designs to your cart, the least expensive one will be free ~ enjoy!
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.
