Pogona is one of Westknits’ earliest shawl designs. It’s a beautiful beginner friendly pattern with an elegant shape. Pogona features stockinette and reverse stockinette panels that increase into a generous shawl shape. The shawl is knit seamlessly with three skeins of fingering weight yarn in a beautiful gradient for the large size. The small size features one skein of fingering weight yarn for a quick to knit little shawl. You can bind off at any time to customize the size of your shawl, so you can enjoy a petite one skein wonder or wrap yourself in a large shlanket.
