Starting at the bottom point, this large shawl features a simple yet striking short-row colorwork motif throughout, creating energy and movement within the fabric for an everyday wearable piece. It’s an ideal project to explore how this colorwork method can be worked with more traditional shaping methods.

PATTERN NOTES
This shawl is worked from the bottom up, and its width is proportional to its depth. To achieve a different size, you can adjust your gauge, either by yarn weight or needle size, or by repeating Rows 1 to 36 of the Motif Repeats section. To ensure the fabric remains balanced and to maintain pattern continuity, always end after a Row 36 before working the edge.

Pattern available April 16, 2024 in the book Short-Row Colorwork Knitting.
