Notes: Catalyst is a shawl/scarf pattern with 6 different options. Simply by changing the amount of stitches cast on and how many rows worked, the shape of the piece is changed dramatically. With more stitches cast on and fewer rows, the shape is shawl-like, worked from the bottom up. With fewer stitches cast on and more rows worked, the shape is more of a scarf, with a pointed tip at one end and a forked tongue at the other. Both shapes are very wearable and unique. The pattern is written for three yarn weights (fingering, sport & DK), to give the knitter even more options. The shape of the piece(s) is created with simple increases and decreases, and the stitch pattern is made up entirely of knits and purls.
