✨UPDATE✨ - Now 2 shawls! The Scraponacci Mini! A smaller size perfect for the spring, summer and quickly knits up for gifting because it’s a “one skein-er”. For 4ply it’s about 75g, DK about 95g and of course perfect for hoovering up those scraps! Happy knitting!

The Scraponacci Shawl is inspired by the Fibonacci sequence. In this series each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. The standard size comprises of 13 triangles following the sequence up and then reversed down, providing a perfectly symmetrical shaped shawl.

The Shawl can be made with the yarns suggested in the pattern, however the possibilities are endless! You may use any scraps of yarn, mini skeins, advent mini skeins, two contrasting colours, stripes, different coloured triangles and many more. Hence the name “Scraponacci!”
