ABOUT THIS PATTERN
During the summer as I sat outside on my patio, I would watch the hummingbirds play as I knit. This shawl is inspired by these times. This is a ¾ shawl, 3 triangles worked to create a shawl that drapes over your shoulders beautifully. It is worked with 3 colors. This beautiful shawl is worked in garter stitch with a simple, yet classy mosaic section, ending with a 2x2 ribbing.

This has two PDF’s, one has line by line instructions, perfect for a beginner. The second is a condensed version for those more experienced with working mosaic, etc.

I have also included a video tutorial to walk you through this type of cast-on.

I was lucky to have the opportunity to collaborate with Jenece of Glennheavenknits, her yarn is amazing, I encourage you to check out all of her lovely yarns!!
