The Malleable Shawl is an asymmetrical, reversible, triangular shawl with an easy 4 row lace repeat, and garter short rows.

Malleable is having a capacity for adaptive change, which is what the year 2020 has required of all of us. This shawl was originally designed for LYS day to be held early in 2020, but when the date changed dates, release plans had to adapt and change.
The design itself is highly adaptable: knit with fingering or DK weight yarn, each with 2 yardage options, in 1 or 2 colors, creating 8 different options; that is 8 patterns in 1!

This design is a collaboration with Stitched Together and the samples feature Kayanna’s gorgeous LYS day colorway: Rise Together.
