A “choose your own” Adventure. This or That begins with a choice between your preferred shape, shawl or wrap, followed by a journey of 6 parts. Both the shawl and wrap will follow the same design/stitch patterns; only the shape will differ. Each of the 6 parts will offer a choice between Path A or Path B. Follow Path A or Path B for a standalone design with each part flowing into the next. Or mix it up as each choice is presented to you; start with Path A or B, then work Path B or A and so on. Path A is an organic journey with flowers and circles and path B is a journey through a diamond landscape.

Each path is also available as an individual pattern, see all the associated patterns here.
