About this Pattern
This version is a fantastic way to show-off two contrasting skeins. Horizontal garter stripes are created by knitting each side of your work twice (once with each skein), while slipped-stitch columns create alternate-coloured vertical stripes. Pair two different colours together or two different textures to create something fun!
Skills Needed
This shawl is for adventurous beginners and beyond! You will be mostly knitting and slipping stitches. There are a couple of purl stitches on the wrong side of your work and a few easy decreases/increases around your slipped stitches on the right side of your work.
