Helsingborg is the perfect shawl to knit, if you want to start with an easy, mindless project in garter stitch. The border, in contrast, contains lovely mosaic color work patterning to also add some spice!

The shawl is started with a garter tab. The color work is done using the slip-stitch mosaic technique, so you will be handling only one strand of yarn at all times. The patterning is both charted and written out.

Difficulty level
This triangle-shaped shawl is knit from the top down, starting with a garter tab cast-on. The color work uses the slip-stitch mosaic technique. Stitches used include knit, purl, kfb, k2tog tbl, as well as slipping stitches.

This pattern is suitable for the intermediate to advanced knitter.

Yarn
Filcolana Pernilla (100% Wool; 175 m (191.4 yds) / 50 g) in the following colors:
C1: 525.0 meters (574.1 yards), 150 g in 821 Macaron
C2: 175 m (191.4 yds) / 50 g in 818 Fisherman Blue

Substitute any DK weight yarn in solid or tonal colors for a similar result.

Please note, approx. two-thirds of the C1 yarn was used for the body of the shawl, with the remainder reserved for the border. For a shawl with similar proportions, aim to use a similar distribution.
