Welcome to Stacey Namaste Designs. This shawl is part of my Knitting for Healing series. Trauma can be defined as “Anything that overwhelms our capacity to cope and leaves us feeling hopeless and helpless,” ~Seane Corn, Yogi and Author. This series was inspired in order to provide choice and control for the maker in size, color scheme, design, and patterning. I hope you have fun, and every time you sit to knit this pattern, you can create a new design of your choosing.

This triangle shawl is designed to provide the maker agency, choice, and variation - you can use any yarn, any size, any color scheme. When worn, it does not need to be worn as a shawl - it can be worn as a scarf. The cotton yarn I chose creates a light and airy garment.

This design, Warrior III, integrates the elements of fire, air, earth, water, and ether. Depending on your unique needs for creating balance in your life, you can extend or reduce each element section, and decide their order. Read more about the elements here.
