GENERAL INFORMATION:
My testers said…“It’s definitely a just one more row…kind of pattern”
This is a ideal beginner level shawl. It is knitted entirely in garter st and the pattern is created by changing yarn colours by knitting stripes. Stitch counts are noted in the pattern, but the shawl is designed so that making the odd mistake is not critical. The yarn requirements for just 200m of main colour and then less than 80m/87 yds for each of 7 colours make it a great project for leftover yarn or mini skeins sets!!
This shawl is an asymmetric triangle knitted sideways from a few cast on stitches.
The pattern has been tested and Tech edited.

MATERIALS:
MC: 200 m/ 218 yds
CCs: 7 different contrast colours each 80m/ 87 yds. Great for a mini set or some left over scrap yarn!
Shown in Malabrigo sock. MC Plomo, CC, Solis, Identica, Acro Iris, Archangel, Abril, Sabiduria, Violeta Africana
