Homebody – Mystery Knit Along by Boo Knits – Kit

About Homebody

Homebody is an easy to knit, easy to wear triangular shawl by Boo Knits. Worked from the top down in The Fibre Co Arranmore Light, Homebody is the shawl you will reach for when feeling the chill, walking the dog, dashing to the store, cutting flowers from the garden or veg from the plot. Homebody is more than a shawl; it is a hug from nature, a reminder that home is where the heart is, where we are safe and cherished and a shawl that is a protective hug with a whole lot of love in every stitch.

Homebody was released as a mystery knit-along by Boo Knits as part of the Heartfelt Collection along with Larksmeadow, Cloudwatching and Kindness.

Kit contains:

• 3 hanks of The Fibre Co.’s Arranmore Light (2 hanks of Yarn A and 1 hank of Yarn B.)
• Free Project Bag from The Fibre Co.

Colours:

Photos courtesy of thyme show the shawl in Arranmore Light shades Meara and Evlin.

Choose from any 2 shades of Arranmore Light as shown above. Your first selection will be your main colour (2 hanks) and your second selection is your additional colour (1 hank).

Sizes:

The pattern is written for one size measuring 236 cm [93 in] in wingspan and 80 cm [31.5 in] in depth.

You will also need:

• 4mm (US6) and 5mm (US 8) about 1m in length or needles to create a pleasing fabric – your fabric should not be too dense and should have a good drape
• Stitch markers, needle (for weaving in ends)
• Blocking pins and mats

Notes:

You can also purchase items in this kit separately: Homebody knitting pattern, Amble yarn and Project Bag from The Fibre Co.

Gauge: The gauge achieved was 20.5 sts to 4” before blocking and 17 sts to 4” after a very gentle block, really just smoothing the damp shawl out evenly and ensuring straight lines – measurement taken over stocking stitch using 4mm (US 6) needles. A looser gauge will result in additional yardage requirements.
