Yongbao
This pattern is available as a
free Ravelry download
Yongbao (Mandarin for hug or embrace):
- Full sized it’s a shawl and a shrug - wear like a regular shawl or snuggle your arms through the doubled sections
- Half sized it’s a scarf -wrap round your neck & secure with doubled sections
- Scale down again & you have a neckwarmer - wear loose, or secure with doubled sections
The pattern includes:
- Fully tested instructions for all 3 sizes of Yongbao in both lace weight and sock weight yarns
- Calculations for working all three sizes at 4 different stitch gauges
- Separate, step by step photo tutorial on how to work the double sections
You will get the warmest, snuggliest, drapiest version of the large shawl if you knit in a lace weight yarn that has some loft or haze (such as pure cashmere, wool/cashmere, wool/mohair or wool/yak blends - a quiviut blend would be indulgently fabulous!!!!)
Pure wools and sock weight yarns will give you a heavier, slightly less drapey shawl, but work particularly well if you want to add texture or colourwork patterns to the doubled sections.
