Looking for a warm, colorful, stripy shawl to accessorize your journeys through space and time – without having to worry about shutting a long scarf in the doors of your blue box or tripping over the ends while running from extermination-happy metal monsters?

The Time Traveller’s Shawl is a slightly asymmetrical triangle with a gently curved top edge, measuring a generous 84” by 24.” It features garter stitch stripes and slip-stitch edges on the top and one side, with a simple bind-off that echoes the look of the slip-stitch edges.

Gauge: 22 stitches and 44 rows = 4”

Finished size, lightly blocked: 84” along top edge, 24” deep.

Suggested needle size: US 5 (3.75mm); US 8 (5mm) used for bind-off. Gauge is not critical for this project; use a needle size that results in a fabric you like. However, if your gauge differs greatly from the project gauge, you may need more or less yarn to complete the project.

The pattern uses one 50g ball of each of the following colors of Knitpicks Palette (or a similar fingering weight yarn). Not all colors used a full ball; approximate amounts used are shown in case you want to substitute yarns.
• Purple – Knitpicks Palette Regal (approx. 20g used)
• Tan – Knitpicks Palette Suede (approx. 50g used)
• Brown – Knitpicks Palette Bark (approx. 30g used)
• Yellow – Knitpicks Palette Semolina (approx. 35g used)
• Red – Knitpicks Palette Pimento (approx. 45g used)
• Grey – Knitpicks Palette Ash (approx. 40g used)
• Green – Knitpicks Palette Clover (approx. 50g used)

Note on yarn amounts: I had less than 1g remaining of the Suede and Clover, so I did use all 50g. If you are a loose knitter, you may want a little extra of these two colors.

Updated 7/18/16
Updated pattern posted 7/18/16 to correct two minor errors in the table on rows 35 and 43. The change is in the number of rows knitted in that color; stitch count remains the same. The updated pattern should be available in your library if you downloaded the original pattern.
