You Need to Calm Down is a funny and cheerful song by Taylor Swift, with a profound love towards everybody and anybody, no mattern how they differ from the “norm of the world”.
This shawl is the same: you can use one skein of special dyed yarn, as well as two skeins, or even more, for a long, adaptable shawl that differs from the norm!
Leave all rules behind and calm down: this shawl is freestyle, fun, and addictive! There a no boring sections, because there are no sections! And more than a pattern, this a way of life: follow the colour(s)!

For this pattern is ESSENTIAL that you read the ENTIRE PATTERN BEFORE your begin!

DETAILS
This shawl has 2 basic row of instructions. The rest of the charm consist in acting when you encounter a colour change. How you will act is determined by many variables, and it will demand you a bit of creativity. I have listed most of the possible scenarios you will encounter, but as the skein you will use is hand-dyed and nobody cannot predict your tension, you will have to take your own steps towards creativity!
But the incredible fun of assigned pooling (and knitting in general) is that nothing can go really wrong: the end result will be a unique piece of knitting, constructed together by you, the dyer, and me, the designer.
