Everything is a Game (Aries) is available individually and as part of the Zodiac Collection. 12 patterns inspired by each Zodiac sign.

Aries are determined, spontaneous, courageous, and energetic. They like to take charge and are ambitious and competitive. They have a sense of adventure and love to explore. Aries woman love uncomplicated and comfortable clothes. For this Zodiac sign, I pictured a mix of edgy aesthetic with a hint of sporty influence. The stripes and waves, paired with bold colors, are perfect with a basic t-shirt and a black motorcycle jacket for a cool look.

Are you an Aries? I would love to hear from you. Let me know in the comments if the pattern fits your personality.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES
This lightweight shawl combines a deep garter stitch section with a lovely lace edging. It has a classic triangular shape with a central spine.
The shawl is started by casting on 5 stitches (with no need for a garter tab). The increase rate is 6 stitches every right side row: two stitches at each side and two in the center. The result is a shallow triangle with long wings, very comfortable to wear and keep on your shoulder.
Pattern is offered with full written instructions and lace charts.
