Trustfall is as delightful to knit as it is to wear! This vibrant shawl plays with colour and texture in a way that appears intricate, yet remains wonderfully simple to create. With mosaic knitting, you’ll only work with one colour at a time, making the process both approachable and engaging. Trustfall is a four-colour shawl that invites you to get creative — stick with a harmonious palette or mix and match for a bold statement. For the sample version, two different yarns were used, which adds an extra layer of interest.
