Buy the eBook save! The Rainbow Collection is a collection of three shawls using mini-skeins to create beautiful rainbows.

Written instructions are included for the chart.

Dispersion is a top-down half-pi shawl. Mini skeins are used along the increase rows to create a fun pop of color. The edge of the shawl uses an easy feather-and-fan pattern that can easily be lengthened with more mini skeins!

Pattern Notes
A set of 5 mini-skeins was used for color B (CB). In the pattern, the mini skeins are labeled 1 through 5 (i.e., CB1, CB2, and so on). You may find it helpful to decide on the order you would like to use the mini skeins at the start of the project and make a note on the pattern.

The mini-skeins (CB) were cut and reattached in the designated areas. The single skein (CA) was carried along the edge throughout the shawl.

This shawl can be made larger by repeating the chart to desired length. Remember, adding chart repeats will affect the size of the shawl and the amount of yarn needed.
