This bizarre heart-shaped shawl is knit with a number of added increases on one side and German Short Rows on the other. Asymmetric, one half features a simple lace pattern, and the other half mesh. This allows for many different ways to shift the shawl for wear. Originally inspired by the overabundance of the color pink in Dario Argento’s horror film Suspiria, I realized that I was designing this shortly after Valentine’s Day, which made me realize: pink ain’t for Valentine’s!

The lace edge portion of this pattern is written and charted.

Yarn
Fingering, Sport, or DK

• Note: The pictured yarn is Cascade Yarns Cherub DK (55% Nylon / 45% Acrylic; 180 yds / 165 m per 50g skein), which is listed as a DK but is rather lightweight. This pattern can be completed in anything between heavy fingering to DK. If using lighter yarn, you might consider dropping in needle size.
