Wrapped in Your Arms Shawl (The Deployment Shawl)

 Story:

After experiencing my first deployment (2020-2021) I wanted to make something to help with my anxiety and depression for the next one. I wanted to feel my husband’s arms even when he was on the other side of the world. So, I created the Wrapped in Your Arms Shawl. Full Story Here. While this a free pattern, you can buy me a coffee at www.ko-fi.com/hookemcreation.

 

 

Supplies:

Hook: 4.5mm

Yarn: Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/4 (#1 - Fingering Weight) Color Bag #14 [I used two bags]

Size: ~ 75” x 30”

Gauge: 21 rows = ~5”

 

 

Note:

- You can use any yarn and hook size you want. I recommend going up one hook size than suggested for the yarn to give the shawl some flow.

- Good rule of thumb, the length of the shawl should be as long as the person wearing the shawl or longer. The width should be from the person’s neck/collarbone to their elbow. Larger is always better for this shawl.

- I purchased two “Rainbow Cotton 8/4 Color Bag #14” bags from Hobbii.

- The 15 rows of solid color plus the color transition is ~5”.

The Pattern

 

This pattern is done in a Corner-To-Corner: Moss Stitch (C2C: Moss Stitch). Another name for the Moss Stitch is called the Linen Stitch. I have a YouTube Tutorial on how to do the C2C: Moss Stitch. I encourage you to watch this video to make this project.

 

Increase on both sides till you reach your desired width.

Begin decreasing on one side and increasing on the other til you reach your desired length.

Decrease on both sides till finished.
