The Flynn shawl features a stunning all-over motif design with bold patterns that truly shine in high-contrast colour combinations.

It’s worked using the mosaic technique, which means only one strand of yarn is used per row, with each row knitted twice (once in each colour). It features two distinct sections worked in a modular fashion: you will start by knitting the first section, then put the live stitches on hold. Next, you will pick up stitches from the right edge of the first section to work the second section sideways, using a combination of increases and decreases for shaping. Once both sections are complete, you will work an i-cord border all around the shawl for a neat, finished edge.
