Viserion is a long, dramatic stash-friendly shawl designed especially for mini skeins, advent sets, and those special single skeins you’ve been saving. The shape creates generous length for wrapping, layering, or wearing loose and flowing.

The shawl begins with a textured center square worked from the middle out, featuring twisted cables that anchor the whole piece visually. From there, stitches are picked up along the sides and the “wings” grow outward in slipped Flame Stitch patterns that make color changes feel natural and easy.

This is a perfect project for fading, color blocking, or simply knitting through a pile of minis without overthinking placement. A charted fade sequence is included to help you plan, but the pattern is intentionally flexible so you can adapt it to whatever yarn you have available.

Written instructions, charts, and video tutorials are included.

Why You’ll Love It

• Made for mini skeins: Ideal for advents, scraps, and stash yarn
• Engaging but relaxing: Texture in the center, easy rhythm in the wings
• Flexible length: Knit shorter or longer based on your yardage
• Easy color play: Fade, stripe, or mix colors without strict planning

Construction Overview

Viserion begins with the center square worked in the round from the middle outward using raglan increases. The square is finished with an i-cord bind-off.

Stitches are then picked up along two sides of the square to form the wings, which are worked flat with built-in i-cord edges. The Flame Stitch pattern (a slipped stitch texture) creates strong visual interest while remaining approachable to knit.

Color changes can be worked as fades, stripes, or stash-driven combinations. Optional tassels are included for finishing.

Video tutorials are included.
