Balloons and Streamers celebrates 5 years of Local Yarn Shop Day. Where would we be without our Local Yarn Shops? They are places to gather, share ideas, enjoy community, get help - and of course buy yarn!

This shawl combines a motif of circles and stripes simulating balloons and streamers. This is a long, shallow, triangular shawl knit from the bottom center point. It is a little asymmetrical. All color changes happen in the center.

The pattern is both charted and written. It easily made larger by working more repeats but you will definitely need more yarn. The pattern uses about 90% of the MC and about 75% of the CC before the fringe. Seal Rock is a new yarn from Alexandra the Art of Yarn. It is a DK yarn, 100% superwash Merino, with 275 yards in 100g. The pattern’s colorway is an exclusive LYS Day color from Alexandra the Art of Yarn.
