Garlands Around Me
Garlands Around Me is a large & cosy triangular shawl that combines lovely ornamental mosaic bands with garter stripes and colour blocks, which makes for a fun and engaging project.
Paired with the different colours of a beautiful gradient/mini-skein set this item is as enjoyable to knit as it is to wear!
The mosaic motifs are created by using slip stitches and only one colour at a time. It is a colourwork technique which is easy to knit but creates fascinating results.
Worked on the bias in a sideways-knit triangular shape with a centred bottom tip makes this shawl fun to knit and easy to wear.
The pattern contains both fully written out as well as charted instructions.
I hope you’ll enjoy the pattern!
This pattern was created in collaboration with Colour Adventures.

As of 09/2019 this pattern has been renamed. It has been brought to my attention that the original name Malini is part of the Hindu heritage and should only be used by people of the Hindu faith. If anyone has felt hurt or offended by me using this name for my pattern, I sincerely apologize!
