Botanic Scarflet

This beginner-friendly small shawl begins at the wingtip with an I cord Tab Cast On. Increases along one edge gradually shape the fabric as you work stripes and slip stitches. Only one colour is worked at a time as you stripe each colour for two rows each. Once you reach the centre midpoint of the shawl, decreases shape the triangle toward the other wingtip.

This shawl shape is very relaxing to knit and easy to customise by simply knitting more repeats for a longer size or work fewer pattern repeats for a shorter length. Colour-changing yarns like Schoppel Wolle Zauberball Crazy create the beautiful shifting tones in the garter ridges. Add a splash of colour with a solid yarn like West Wool HEX and enjoy watching the vibrant stripes unfold.
