A fingering weight shawl in a trapezoid shape. It’s very stretchy, drapey, and soft in Kings Mountain Sock Yarn. The pattern was developed to use up the yarn without too much planning. I bought a set of gradient, hand-painted skeins and created a shawl pattern to use up every inch. I did add in about 200 yards of black fingering weight yarn (leftover from another project) for visual reasons. Judging by the finished shawl size, it isn’t terribly necessary. I used the gradient set of 6 skeins.

It is written as a plain, stockinette shawl in order for the color of the yarn to stand out. It would be considered a recipe, too, as it is general and plain…. so dress it up! My short attention span demanded that I throw in random rows of YO,K2Tog or garter stitch to make it a little more interesting for my constantly wandering brain.

Finished dimensions: Aprox 76” along the top edge, 40” along the bottom edge, 16” deep.

I knit loosely, and chose to use US size 3 needles, too, to give it some airspace and keep it light.

I used a 6-skein set of hand painted yarn, but it could be knit in one color or to stash bust all of those left over balls from other projects.
