This shawl is third in a collaboration series with Ontario indie dyers. This design features Lizzie-Anne Yarns, a mother-daughter team who creates feminine, saturated hand-dyed yarn in rural Ontario.

This design combines simple elements for a very visually striking shawl that can be dressed up or down. It’s easy enough for beginners and makes good “TV knitting” for more advanced knitters.

Mooncat shawl is knit from the inner-neck outwards on circular needles with three colours. It uses garter and eyelet stitches and finishes with a simple lace pattern for the trim.
