The True Blue Shawl is an exploration in various stitch patterns and colors! Work simple stripes in Garter stitch, some fun Daisy Chains, and slip-stitch colorwork while moving between the different colors in this asymmetrical triangle shawl.

All of the stitch patterns are simple enough for adventurous beginners – but interesting enough to keep knitters of all levels engaged.

In accordance with the name, choose 1 blue shade (for Color 1 or 2), plus a bright pop color for Color 3. Color 1 should be dark; color 2 should be light.
