Notes

What a fun stitch!
This wrap calls for (2) Koigu ‘paint boxes.’ I purchased 1 box as you can see and am coordinating scraps to make up for the other.

The use of markers is very helpful when knitting the petal stitch.

Getting there … really!

August 20, 2025

My color plan was to follow the color scheme as presented in the ‘pencil-box’, a sort of ombre effect, more or less in the direction of light to dark. See last photo. However, I liked the way the shawl in the pattern begins and ends with the same color at its important parts, the petals and the sleeve ribbing. So, for mine: yellow to the greens to shades of blue (light to dark), back to the greens, and to end with the beautiful yellow.
