Make It Magic is a celebration shawl! Keenan Hand Dyed Yarn and I have teamed up once again to bring you an easy and fun project, just in time to celebrate the 7th birthday of our beloved Yarn Store Boutique.

Make It Magic is a charming shawl that blends all my favorite stitches and techniques into one delightful project! Picture mindless garter stitch for those zen moments, engaging slip stitch to keep things interesting, and delicate eyelets for that touch of elegance. With short, easy-to-memorize repeats and using only one color at a time, this pattern is a breeze—no purling involved! Trust me, you’ll love every stitch!

The shawl is an asymmetrical triangular shape, knitted sideways. The pattern is written to use most of the 2 skeins of yarn, but the size is easy to adjust by working more or fewer repeats (you will need more yarn if you want to make it bigger). The pattern can be worked from the written instructions or charts.
