“A Bit of Good Luck” is an easy to knit shawl / wrap designed to be made with super bulky weight yarn.
This shawl is quick to knit on big needles and would make a lovely gift… to wish a friend or loved one “a bit of good luck”. I picked a green colorway since A Bit of Good Luck reminded me of Irish sayings such as these…
A best friend is like a four leaf clover; hard to find and lucky to have.
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light, may good luck pursue you each morning and night.
“Lovely pattern, easy to read, quick knit and good project to take on the go.”
As of February 2023, this pattern has a rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars on Ravelry for overall results and 5 out of 5 stars for clarity of instructions.

The pattern includes details on how to increase the length of the shawl by adding rows in the middle (back) portion of the shawl. There’s also details on making the shawl wider and longer.

You will need to know how to cast on stitches, knit and purl confidently, increase stitches, decrease stitches, read a row by row knitting pattern, bind off stitches and weave in ends.
Blocking of finished shawl is highly recommended.

I used Lion Brand Hometown in the color “Vermont Green” for the green shawl shown in the photos. Unfortunately, this colorway has been discontinued. However, the new ‘Ashland Pine’ colorway is very similar. The pattern will also work well with Lion Brand Thick & Quick. For more yarn ideas… see my blog post about super bulky yarns.
GAUGE:
Stockinette stitch with US size 15 needles: approximately 8.5 stitches & 12 rows = 4”
This pattern uses standard U.S. knitting terms.
Written pattern with row by row instructions.
I’m sorry but I am unable to assist with questions regarding how to adapt this pattern for lighter weight yarn. That would require writing a new pattern!
