Hey, my lil' buttercup! I hope you're having a spectacular day and are feeling oh-so very fine! Today, I have a super fun, beaded, knitting pattern to share with you! Shifting Sands is a delightfully draping cover up or poncho that can be worn in one of two ways, depending on how you style and seam it! This Adventurous Beginner level knit pattern is perfect as a summer cover up or just for layering and lounging around the house. Download Shifting Sands at Shifting Sands was designed to be a lovely, flowing wrap to wear on all your beachy adventures. The pattern includes a simple eight-row repeat and can be customized to fit your body. The wrap features beads and drop stitches for additional interest. If you're ready to cast on, grab your yarn and needles, and then follow along as I demonstrate everything you need to know to make your own Shifting Sands! In this video, I make a miniature version and demonstrate the Garter Stitch borders, the individual row instructions, how to add beads and drop stitches, as well as how to seam the finished pieces together. Shifting Sands uses our Luster Sport yarn, which is a fantastic choice for this summery design. Luster Sport is a soft and silky blend of 50% Lyocell and 50% Superwash Merino Wool and is a beautifully shimmering and soft, sport weight yarn with a squish factor that is sure to please! The sample shown here was made with our Coastal Hues kit, but you can use any sport weight yarn in any colors that you desire. Our sample used approximately 1052 yards (962 m) total: Color A: 352 yards (322 m), and Color B-Color E: 140 yards (128 m) each color. The pattern is customizable, but may require additional yardage.
