The Kelland Wrap pairs a smoothly shifting gradient with a high-contrast solid to make a visually striking piece. Its repeating, easily memorized elements of texture and lace make it an engaging and relaxing knit — you’ll find yourself always wanting to work through “just one more color!”

Kelland’s long, trapezoidal shape lets it be wrapped a myriad of ways, and Marianated Yarns’ MCN blend yarn makes it block and drape beautifully.

This pattern contains both fully charted and written instructions, in two separate PDFs.

Recommended Yarn:
Marianated Yarns Scrumptious HT, Six Pack Perfection gradient set — 80% superwash merino / 10% cashmere / 10% nylon — 800 yds to 200 g in total. Shown in Uncorked gradient.

Marianated Yarns Scrumptious HT, one solid skein — 400 yds to 100 g. Shown in Spelunking.

Sizing:
93” (236 cm) along longest edge, 19.5” (49.5 cm) wide.

Gauge:
22 sts and 28 rows to 4” (10 cm) in lace pattern, strongly blocked.

PLEASE NOTE: To ensure you will have enough yarn to complete the gradient portions of the shawl, it is very important that you knit and strongly block a swatch, so as to determine your gauge (use solid color for swatching). Changes in gauge will affect finished size and amount of yarn used.

Needles:
US 5 (3.75 mm) needles, straight or circular (pointy tips recommended).

Other Materials:
Tracking tool if using charts, tapestry needle.
