Bust your stash and make your yarn leftovers disappear into the Bermuda Triangle!

This shawl is a great way to enjoy some colour with the sophistication added by some simple lace. The pattern is written for stocking stitch with contrast stripes (pictured) but looks great in garter stitch as well as solid stripes.

An easy and fast knit, it is designed to make the most of a 50g fingering (4ply) gradient yarn or for using up all your pretty left overs (yes, that’s how it got its name).

The instructions are written row for row including stitch counts, lace charts are included, as well as tick sheet for your convenience.

Information is also given for customising centre increases to your preference, knitting it in garter stitch, and solid stripes of colour (the yarn quantities are different for that version).

Gradients, speckles, solid, and variegated yarns will all work wonderfully in this shawl.
