Little Gemstones

Little Gemstones is the perfect pattern for mini skeins or an advent set, or for just using up some left overs; choose a colour theme or go rogue and use all the colours! For a cowl version see [Little Gemstones Cowl.][1] or for a blanket version see [Little Gemstones Blanket][2]. This shawl is knit in one piece from the bottom up; the gems are knit as you go using W&T short rows without needing to pick up stitches or any seaming. Without modification the pattern creates a total of 78 individual gems. Each gem uses a max of 9yds / 8m of yarn, yardage will vary depending on gauge and how long a yarn tail you leave. This is a written pattern with no charts. **Materials:** 4ply / Fingering weight yarn Background colour: 290yds / 265m Gem colour: 700yds / 640m 3.25mm / US 3 needles Stitch markers (optional) **Finished Measurements:** 64” wide x 14” at deepest point (163 x 36cm) Size is customisable. *Sample shown in Knit Picks Felici Bare (background colour) and Needle and Fred BFL Nylon Sock (2022 advent set).* [1]: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/little-gemstones-cowl [2]: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/little-gemstones-blanket
