If One Can, Toucan!
On my first trip to Costa Rica I was excited to see all the beautiful animals of the rain forest. Unfortunately the weather was too warm for them to come out and play, but I left inspired by the local saying “If one can, toucan”
-catch yah next time toucan!
Choose three or four of your favorite colors and jump into a fun asymmetric sideways shawl!
The pattern begins with only a few cast-on stitches, and is worked flat from tip to edge blending fun colors, mosaic knitting and slipped stitches.
You will find it very useful to print this pattern using a color printer as the charts are color coded.
Errata-
Chart D- row 16: stitch 47 should be MC
Chart I-row 8: CC2 is used
