Yarn pack and pattern for the Magic Circles crocheted scarf (or wrap/shawl - whatever you want to call it!) by Jane Crowfoot. This is SUCH a beautiful pattern - Jane has used my yarn palette to create just the most perfect project for it. She’s combined the colours really cleverly, and the tiny tassels are the icing on the cake. I honestly can’t gush enough about it. 🤣🥰

The original design was made using Autumn Fields which has been discontinued. Jane has reissued the pattern with Dusk in place of Autumn Fields. Images of the wrap are from the Janie Crow instagram account and have been used with permission of Jane.  (Note that the pics and video of the boxed kit show the Black Tulip original palette - I will update the pics here next time I pack up a Dusk palette pack).

Introduction by Jane:

“I love looking at how shapes fit together and have wanted to create a tessellating circle design for some time. Circular motifs can be tricky to fit together and it is common to find the circular shape becomes slightly distorted when motifs are pieced together, so rather than create motifs that are square or octagonal, I designed cross-shaped infill pieces that protect the shape of the large circles.

This pattern was originally written for a blanket, but when I saw the beautiful range of shades available in Eden Cottage Milburn DK range I knew I had to make a scarf version”. Jane has published a YouTube video explaining the joining technique and you can see it HERE.

Finished size: 160cm(63in) x 36cm(14in)

We recommend that if you are planning to use a dark colour with a pale colour to make a swatch with them both and wash it to make sure no colour contamination occurs before starting your project. Hot water in particular can make colours run; if in doubt use cool water and no soap/detergent.
