With all the gorgeous, non-repeatable colorways popping up among the Indie dyers, I couldn’t resist a design that celebrates these unique skeins. Singular Sensation is a simple, top down, crescent-shaped shawl consisting of garter stitch and a simple star stitch. Instructions are given for easily adjusting the pattern according to yardage and yarn weight.
