The original pattern for this shawl was created in 2018, for the MIDI sized yarnclub of the Dutch webshop Chefwol. The MIDI sized yarnclub features patterns made with 50 grams of each color of sockweight yarn. The theme for this yarnclub was Halloween and resulted in the Paint me Right Shawl.

This pattern is available in DUTCH and US English and it’s a written pattern.

This shawl combines a handdyed yarn with a (semi-)solid commercial yarn and the simple stitches let the colors speak. The name Paint me Right refers to the painting with the handdyed yarn. The length and the arrow shape ensure this shawl is a nice knit for your shawl collection.
