Description

Got a mini skein set you don’t know what to do with? I say, go bold or go home. Making the most of the yardage, and with optional matching tassels, you will use as much of your yarn set as possible within the one design. Pair it with a main colour skein and you’re good to go!

Bold Yin is a straightforward, fuss free, triangular striped shawl. Using one regular skein as your main colour, and a complementary set of mini skeins, create a simple, bold statement piece that will become your next favourite accessory. The shawl is knit straight on a long circular needle; two row repeat forms the stockinette stitch and shaping. Garter stitch edging and an icord bind off create a neat edge.

For beginners; pattern includes knitted cast on, yarn overs, stockinette stitch, garter stitch, changing yarn colours, K2togTBL, I-cord bind off. Photo instructions included for making the tassels.
