Classic style meets a modern fit in the Iris Shawl!

Looking for a versatile, color-blocked shawl that doubles as a cozy cowl? This unique design is built from 6 individual panels (3 on each side) that create a stunning visual impact. The front drapes like a classic rectangular shawl, while the panels meet in the back to form a modern triangle shape.
Because it’s worked in panels, it’s the ultimate “on-the-go” project—no hauling a massive, heavy project around as you get closer to the finish line!

Pattern Highlights:

  • Stitches Used: Beautiful iris-inspired lace motif, ladder lace edging, and structural purl columns.
  • Construction: Knit in 6 separate panels and seamed for a polished, tailored structure.
  • Skill Level: Intermediate (or an adventurous beginner comfortable with lace and seaming).
