High Priestess is an easy, breezy shawl inspired by the beautiful colorway of the same name by Less Traveled Yarn. This pattern is meant to be accessible to all levels. For beginners, if you can do basic increases, you can make it! For more advanced knitters, it’s a relaxing knit for you to play around with different combinations of yarn and mellow out while working up some simple stitches. And instead of counting out stitches for each section, it’s a measure-as-you-go deal - no continuous counting across hundreds of stitches for this piece!
