Color Block Shawl

To celebrate the release of my complete Color Block Collection you can receive the Color Block Headband pattern free when you purchase either one or both of my Color Block Shawl and/or Color Block Cowl patterns. Just put both or all three patterns into your cart and the headband will automatically be free at checkout.

This shawl came into creation after I had purchased these beautiful bright colors from Hello Stella. I wanted a piece that showed off the brilliance of her wonderful yarns. It is a fingering weight shawl that is made piece by piece, which makes it easy to work on wherever you are. The separate pieces are then seamed together. For the outer edges, stitches are picked up along each side to add a garter stitch border.

This is a shawl that anyone from a beginner to an advanced knitter can enjoy. The best part is choosing the colors.

I have included a coloring page to help you plan your beauty.

This is also a great stash buster.

This shawl would also look amazing with speckled yarns. Go crazy!
