Lolette
Take a spin with Lolette, this year’s countdown calendar creation!
Lolember Members... the code in your kit will work to download the pattern for Lolette for free!
This high-stakes project invites you to roll the dice with a 25 mini-skein set in sock or DK weight. Take a gamble and dive into your stash or go all-in with a fabulous Emma’s Yarn Smallidays set like I did. This pattern pushes the limits of modular design and includes a hour long exclusive and DETAILED video tutorial teaching you a new way to use stitch saver.
Lolette starts with 8 wedges, worked one at a time. These wedges, like cards in play, are deftly grafted into a wheel. Once your disk is in hand, you’ll work outwards, rolling a die to determine your pattern. Embrace this game of circular shawl shaping until your yarn stack is cashed out. (i.e. You run out of yarn!)
This project is more than knitting; it's a wholesome gambling experience with yarn. Lolette is your invitation to embrace the thrill, take a chance, and let the dice guide you through a dynamic knitting adventure. Come knit with us in our Ravelry and/or Facebook Groups!
