Wrap yourself in the vibrant, organic tones of Platy! Named after the uniquely shaped soft-bodied invertebrate platyhelminthes (aka flatworm), Platy plays beautifully with gradient yarn.

Kits for Platy were sent as the first shipment for 2021’s N Club and if you don’t want to miss out on future N Club kits you should sign up!

This shawl is worked from the inside out in the round, allowing the beauty of Freia Fibers gradient yarn to speak for itself. The bi-colored beaded Platy stitch circulates the shawl before the ends are elongated with German short-rows to create the distinctive flat worm shape. Platy is a joy both on and off your needles.

Optional Beads
Approx. 9 grams Size 6/0 Japanese Seed Beads (A)
Approx. 15 grams Size 6/0 Japanese Seed Beads (B- for bind off)
Tool for placing beads- super floss, .75-1 mm steel crochet hook, or a Beadle Needle
