Fair Isle (requires chart reading) in the Round
Blue Sky Alpaca's Sport Weight (2 colors)

The Wrapigan

A wrap? A cardigan? Just wrap up again!
in Stitch Poet's Wrapigan!

Peruvian Tweed (distributed by Joseph Galler)
100% Peruvian Alpaca
3 skeins (~1800 yards) 
US #7 (24", 16" and 12" or set of dpns)
gauge: 20 sts / 28 rows = 4x4" swatch

The Peruvian Tweed has proven to be the best yarn selection for this garment. If you must substitute yarns, keep in mind that it is meant to be drapey and not a chunky densely knit garment.  The Peruvian Tweed is available at many of the yarn shops that carry Stitch Poet and we've found nothing that works better.  Each skein is 600 yards, which is a delightful when knitting a large project like this!

For more details on yarn substitutions, try searching Ravelry for what others have done! The original Chip was worked in Laines Du Nord's "Cleo." I believe this yarn has been discontinued, but the Chip Bag lives on in many different yarn substitutions!

I've included sash instructions, but you can replace this with your own fabric sash to add even more personal style to this fun scarf.

Beam Me Up Scottie!

Choose a tiny choker using only the smallest size, or long layers of planet sized beads. How about earrings or a purse handle for your Stitch Poet Clutch! Holiday ornaments?
