Shift Shawl is a full-size triangular shawl featuring bold, clean stripes that shift direction as you knit. Worked entirely in garter stitch, it’s a fun and approachable project suitable for beginners and a relaxing project for more experienced knitters. A colorful yet modern accent piece to add to your winter outfits.

The shawl is constructed in four sections that create an interesting graphic look through the change of stripe direction. Color changes happen every 12 rows, giving the piece a modern, minimal aesthetic.
