Twist Shawl and 3 other new patterns will be added to the Festive KAL pattern bundle, all to be published late November, 2025 ahead of the KAL start date.

A shawl version of the popular Twist Cardigan, the Twist Shawl offers plenty of opportunity to incorporate your own creativity. This design is specifically created to complement a festive mini-skein set, offering a variety of ways to integrate the mini-skeins into your knit. You can knit stripes to showcase the individual colors, blend a gradient set for a continuous fade effect, or have fun with bold color blocking. The pattern includes instructions to create a stripe option utilising 12 x 20 g mini-skeins while the gradient version is designed for 24 x 10 g mini-skeins. The finished Twist Shawl is designed to sit comfortably over the shoulders and can be styled in multiple ways to suit the wearer.
