Paint Creek is an asymmetrical triangular shawl knit on the bias. It’s an easy to wear/style shape that is long and not too deep. The shawl grows in size with two stitches increased on every right-side row, while the bias shaping is done on wrong side rows.

This pattern makes the most of a single skein of hand dyed fingering weight yarn. You finish with repeating garter stitch rows until you’re almost out of yarn!
