Speckle & Pop Shawl Pattern
PDF Pattern*
by Stephen West / Westknits
The fingering weight version uses three main colours combined with five colour pops for a speckletacular shawl. Fade the main colours from light to dark in the first short row section while adding contrasting eyelet stripes. Slipped stitches mix the main colours together along the edge of the shawl followed by giant yarn over holes. Choose between two-colour brioche or garter stitch for the final chevron border. Decorate the edging with a contrast colour I-cord bind off.
This pattern is also available in Westknits Bestknits 3 – Shawl Evolution.
