Sometimes, one colour is not enough; this shawl uses 56 different colours of Wollmeise Sock Yarn.

Materials:

  • 1 x 150g Wollmeise 100% Merino Sock Yarn “Schwarz” (background colour)
  • 10g Wollmeise 100% Merino Sock Yarn “Rottkappchen (border colour)
  • 54 different colours of Wollmeise Sock Yarn - no more than 5g of each colour, some rows use less than 1g
  • Twin or 100% will do, or use both!

Of course you don’t have to use 56 colours - you could use :
1 skein of multicoloured yarn for the background
1 skein of a semi solid colour for the foreground and
10g of a co-ordinating yarn for the border

Construction:

  • Worked from the long edge, cast on at the border and decreased to the neck edge.

Pattern includes:

  • Instructions for knit scalloped border
  • Details of colour sequence and amounts of colours used in original shawl

Don’t like to cast on huge numbers of stitches?
An alternative version of a Ridge & Furrow Triangular Shawl is available HERE
