If a wrap can’t be too big for you, if you’re looking to create an heirloom blanket, if you like nearly mindless hours of knitting, then Colossus might be right for you. The one pictured here weighs 980g. That’s a total of 9.8 skeins of glorious, magnificent, deliriously-handed fingering weight yarn.

This is a guide more than a pattern. I’ve included the sources of the two lace stitches I used. Feel free to ad-lib. If you want to do this in Frost Flower and Acorn with an Oak Leaf border, then you should. The second part of the guide is intended to help you decide how much yarn you’ll need, and how many different colors you’ll need to make a wrap or shawl or table runner or wall piece or whatever you want to make.

The details about size, color, shape, and ultimately function are left to the knitter to decide.
