This colorful shawl uses a variety of techniques: modular, short rows, and mosaic knitting - you’ll never get bored. The main part is knit with self-striping yarn; make sure to use the brightest skein from your stash!

You will need:
fingering weight yarn:

  • 400meters of selfstriping ( I used 1 fill skein of SW merino in Gypsy colorway from knitterlythings.com) ,
  • 400m of solid color contrasting to self striping (I used Cote D Azur from Malabrigo),
  • 300m of some bright color matching one of the colors of self-striping yarn (I used pink and purple leftovers). I strongly suggest to use tight-spun yarn that does not split.
  • circular needles 4.5mm wide with the wire long enough to accommodate 700+ sts , and smaller needles (2.5mm ) for picot edge.
    Size: the shawl is close to 3/4 of a circle, with approx 58cm radius. Gauge: 22sts X 28rows = 10cm in garter.
