Field Guide No. 13: Master Class is a choose-your-own adventure!

This generous shawl—it can double as a throw—uses our favorite, the humble garter stitch, in wide stripes that go on and on, with a subtle structure and order. This might be the largest product in this book, but it’s also the easiest, and the most playful.

Note: In this pattern, we show yarn colors and quantities to replicate the photography sample, but we also heartily endorse the idea of gathering up a bunch of colors of Felted Tweed and playing with a color arrangement to create your own magical Kaffe creation.
