GLAD TIDINGS WRAP
The Glad Tidings Wrap was designed as the Advent project for Jimmy Beans Wool in December 2021.
The original design used 16 mini skeins of yarn, with a new shade added to the design each day in the lead up to Christmas.
The design is a great stash-buster if you have lots of little bits of left over 4-ply yarn, or you could use a curated collection of mini skeins.
The wrap is made by working a central crochet band which is added to daily.
In the Jimmy Beans version the colours used on each side of the central band pretty much matched each other in terms of
colour and we have made a version using Scheepjes Whirl, which does the same. You could create a quite different
effect by using random shades or treating the wrap like a 'temperature' project where you assign colours
to different temperatures and select your yarn according to the warmth of the weather that day.
However you choose to approach making the wrap, I hope you will enjoy creating this project.
This project was originally designed for Jimmy Beans in the US and was released in December 2021.
When the pattern reverted to me in 2022 we ran the project as our own Advent CAL.
The pattern has now been amended so that it is not in a crochet along style.
You can purchase the paper brochure pattern (in UK or US terms) by following this link,
or you can find download versions on Etsy and Ravelry.
