Introducing the Kiwi Shawl, a stunning and versatile accessory that’s perfect for any occasion. Originally designed as a gift for my daughter, Kiwi gets its name from her nickname used during her competitive gymnastics days.

Knit with fingering weight yarn, this asymmetrical shawl features an airy eyelet pattern that gives it a delicate and intricate texture. And for the ultimate color experience, the sample shown uses Freia Shawl Ball, a gradient yarn that slowly changes as you knit, making each Kiwi Shawl truly one of a kind.

Kiwi is finished with a picot bind off that adds a unique touch to this already stunning piece. And for those who want to add a bit of sparkle, a beaded picot bind off is also an option.

With its quick and easy design, Kiwi is perfect for knitters of all skill levels. Using just a single skein of your favorite fingering weight yarn, you can whip up this shawl in no time. And with its asymmetrical shape, Kiwi drapes over your shoulders for a flattering and feminine look that you’ll love.

Whether you’re dressing up for a night out or adding a touch of elegance to your everyday look, Kiwi is the perfect accessory.
