Pep is a light colorful shawl to knit in you guessed it, lightweight yarns. Enjoy styling it as a poncho, shawl or cowl, there are many possibilities. Your rectangle has a bit of a bigger bottom/cast on, it then decreases and gets knitted straight in easy comfy Garter stitches. Great TV knitting!

A great project to use up your yarn stash in all different colors, textures and weights. See page 2 of pattern for yarn arrangement. If you like the look as shown, check out the Yarn link below…
