I am a huge fan of any end of world type movies or TV series, but then who doesn’t love a great zombie show!
The idea for this pocket wrap was running around in my head for some time. I pondered on how to create the larger holes and to make the edges of the pockets and hood look worn.
Once I had the design concepts figured, I then spent several months trying to find a yarn that I felt would do it justice. Bendigo Woollen Mills came to the rescue with an advertisement for their Calypso yarn. This is a thick-and-thin slub cotton plied together with a soft light wool to create a crepe style yarn and was just perfect for the design.
The pockets have been designed as part of the wrap and not sewn on.
I used a 5.5mm hook which is possibly larger than I would normally use for a Dk weight yarn, but the main stitch used in the pattern is a linked treble (US). Linked stitches do tend to produce a tighter construction and so the slightly larger hook was suitable.
Crab stitch worked across surface slip stitch is also used to add further texture and a rough or worn look. This was done in a contrasting colour,
The pattern is in written format, with pictures and detailed instructions for any special stitches.
