Alternating speckled and variegated yarn brings to life a whimsical shawl, part zebra stripes and part beautifully colored unicorn: the mythical zebracorn.

Perfect for those skeins of speckled yarn that coordinate with a great variegated colorway. Designed with Lorna’s Laces Solemate but works well with heavier weights (gauge will vary).

Designed with cleverly placed half double crochets to create a solid fabric with knit-like ridges, and star stitch edging providing additional texture that celebrates glorious, exuberant colors.

This pattern is worked top down from the center with increases at the end and center point of each row. While there is a definite right and wrong side to this shawl, the wrong side looks pretty awesome as well.

Detailed instructions, including a picture tutorial, are given for stitch placement as well as how to make the star stitches.

I hope you have as much fun making your zebracorn as I had designing it!!
