This shawl is worked sideways using 19 mini skeins along with a solid main colour.

Each wave uses a different mini skein colour, but you could easily adapt this pattern and use whatever you wish, choose a single colour for all the waves or even a gradual colour changing yarn. It’s the perfect stash buster.

The pattern includes a photo tutorial and instructions on how to adapt the pattern for DK (8ply) weight yarn.

Measurements – after blocking:
4 ply / fingering version – 225 cm x 54 cm (approx.)
DK / 8 ply version – 215 cm x 46 cm (approx.)
