Yarn & Substitutions
Yarn Weight: Super Bulky
Yardage: 125 – 135 yards (114 – 123 meters)
Suggested Yarn: Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick
LBT&Q is affordable, washer/dryer friendly & chunky.
Super bulky yarn knits up quick, which is great for my short attention span! ;)
Also, it’s a wool & acrylic fiber blend, which I think is what makes it warmer and more durable than other options.
Alternative Yarn Suggestions:
Lion Brand Re-Spun Thick & Quick which is 100% recycled polyester.
Lion Brand HomeTown Yarn which is a 100% acrylic yarn. I’ve used this yarn before and it works interchangeably with LB Thick & Quick.
Alternative Yarn Substitute Options:
- Lion Brand Hometown Yarn (acrylic option)
- Lion Brand Re-Spun Thick & Quick
- Cascade Yarns Pacific Chunky
- Hobbii Umami
- Rico Designs Creative Twist
- Rowan Big Wool (100% wool)
- Yarn Bee Dream Supreme
- Paint Box Yarns Wool Blend Super Chunky

Needles & Notions
Gauge
15 STS & 23 rows per 6” (15cm) square, knit in the pattern below

Details
Measurement: 6″ wide x 53″ (15cm x 153cm)
Weight: 7.4oz (210g)
Notes
Not reversible.
CO edge is the width.
Knit using the baby fern knit stitch.
Modification Options
A few rows of garter stitch at the beginning and end would help keep the ends from curling. However, fringe would be cute too!
You could add a third skein of yarn to make it longer.
If you’d like to make it wider, cast-on in multiples of 9+6. The 6 stitches are the edge stitches.
