Wavelength Shawl
There has been so much talk about wavelengths, frequency and good vibes lately that the Wavelength Shawl was very nearly called the Good Vibes shawl. The idea behind Wavelength was to create something simple enough for a relative beginner to knit but that looks like so much more - all achieved with a little mosaic knitting (aka slipped stitches).
SHAPE
Wavelength is a triangular shawl that starts from the centre top edge and increases in width and depth forming a point as you go. It is constructed using two contrasting yarns. Just one colour is worked per row.
SKILL/DIFFICULTY
-Cast on and off
-Knit
-Increase (by making a backwards loop)
