Brain Space Shawl
Sometimes we just need to play with pretty yarn and make something fun. Brain Space came about because I adore vibrant, multi-colored yarn and for once I didn’t want to try and “normalize” an extravagant colorway with a more subdued semi-solid contrast. I wanted to design a shawl that was just as textural and energetic as the yarns that inspired it, but I also wanted it to be easy and fun to knit from cast-on to bind-off.
Worked from the top-down, this triangle shawl features eyelets and elongated cables for the simple, textural patterning. It’s easy to customize the size by adding or subtracting rows, just keep in mind the amount of yarn for the tassels if you’re planning to add them!
