DESCRIPTION
The Scrappy Zig Zag Wrap is another design in my Scrappy Collection. The patterns in this Collection have been specifically designed to use up all those part balls that are in your stash.

There are so many different ways to combine your colours for this design. I repeated 17 different colours to create a tweed effect for my version. You can see by the others, some used their colours in stripes, some didn’t repeat colours and others did single rows and double rows to create tweed and stripes together. Regardless of the arrangement, I think you will agree they are all beautiful.

You may have seen this wave stitch in other projects, but what makes this version unique is that the waves run vertically and the most outstanding feature is the zig zag border finishing off all 4 edges. Turn the border back to create a shawl collar that frames the face so beautifully.

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Advance Beginner / Intermediate
A one row repeat of basic stitches are used to create the wave affect. The only tricky part is the edging on each end to continue the wave effect all around. The pattern instructions will guide you through the process.

Here’s some of the things testers said about this pattern:

• The instructions were very easy to follow.
• Well written and thought out.
• I couldn’t imagine how putting so many different colours together could create something so beautiful and unique.
• What complicated beautiful look it has for such simple stitch combinations, including how easy the ends were to mimic the zig zag.
• The idea I could use up miscellaneous single skeins of yarn was another great attraction to this pattern.
• I loved being able to use all the yarn in my stash. it didn’t matter what colour it was.
• It’s a quick easy repetitive pattern that can be made with supplies on hand.
