Reminiscent of a Labyrinth Maze, the Labyrinth Shawl is knit in one continuous piece joined as you go. Starting in the center and twisting and turning until you reach the end of the path.

The Labyrinth Shawl is worked on only 14 stitches at a time with 4 different segments in this pattern: The lace starting/ending segment, the straight segment, a right turn segment and a left turn segment. Joining your edges as you go means no finishing when you are done.

Techniques used: Knit (k), knit two together (k2tog), slip 1 with yarn in front, yarn over, long-tail cast-on, 3 needle bind off.

Other supplies: tapestry needle, scissors, blocking wires and pins (or other blocking supplies)
