Kite is a fun-to-knit and fun-to-wear shawl for those days when you want to feel free as a bird and let the wind carry you away to places you’ve never been before !

Colour changes, stocking stitch, one- and two-colour brioche, eyelets and garter stitch alternate for an easy yet engaging knit !

Fingering weight, single ply.
Colour A: 200 m
