This pattern originally started out as a way for me to knit up some of my hand spun yarn in my personal stash. I was looking for a stitch that had some texture that wouldn’t look too busy with a variegated or multi colored yarn.

After knitting my “prototype” with my hand spun yarn, I realized it needed more contrasting colors and needed more rows so I gave it just that! This pattern became a triangular shawl alternating sections of Wasp Nest Stitch repeats with a group of eyelet rows in two different colors. This is my first pattern I have attempted to write on my own, so please bear with and excuse any counting or wording errors. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me on Ravelry with any questions. I can be found at acidburnface, or dapperladyyarns.
