Named after my incredibly supportive LYS and a setting of the fantasy podcast The Adventure Zone, Raven’s Roost is a triangular shawl that uses slip stitch motifs to play with color in a beginner-friendly way. It’s a quick knit for experienced knitters and an easy introductory pattern for beginners who are interested in colorwork.
