For the 2014 Ravellenic games I challenged myself to design, test, and knit a shawl. This pattern is the result of that challenge.

This pattern is free, but many LGBTQ individuals in Russia and other parts of the world are not. Normally a pattern like this would be $3-$6. Please consider donating that money instead to one of your local LGBTQ support organizations.

If you downloaded this pattern before 4:05am PST on February 14th, you might want the updated version. Needed to correct a small typo.

I would rate this pattern as intermediate-advanced, just because it is more of a recipe than a completely clear pattern. You must be very familiar working with short rows for this pattern.

I used a bit less than 2 skeins of Mini Mochi and a bit less than 1 skein of Mini Solid for this shawl. The size is easily varied, so you can use more yarn if you want to.

This pattern uses the following techniques and stitches:

• Short Rows
• Selvege stitches
• Knit
• Purl
• K2tog
• Slip stitch purlwise
• KFB
• Picking up floats from previous rows
• YO
